I think you underestimate a native speakers ability to mangle a
language. Especially this one ;-)

Anyway, I think it's unnecessary, so you may as well drop it and just
have:

                dev_err(&dev->dev, "Device appears to be assigned to dom%d!"
                        " Overwriting the ownership.\n",
                        xen_find_device_domain_owner(dev));

I suppose you might want "Overriding ownership to dom%d".

Ian.
