I believe this caused problems when the device model was running in the 
same domain as the domain builder (where that was not dom0), not during
the domain build process.  After seeing Keir and Jan's comments, I think
the best solution is for the domain builder to set HVM_PARAM_DM_DOMAIN 
to DOMID_SELF (or the actual device model domain ID) earlier in the 
build process and use that parameter in the event channel creation
instead of 0 or current->domain->domain_id.
