alloc_domain_struct() clears the domain page before handing it back.
Initialising things like this to 0 is pointless.

This is taking a volatile int, shifting left by 21 and then using it as
a virtual address.  It is going to do the wrong thing more often than
the right thing.

second_lvl_{start,end} should be unsigned long, and I cant see a
justification for why they should be volatile.

These are all array indices - they should all be unsigned, as should the
loop variable.

shifted int as virtual address.  Also, SECOND_SIZE exists.

unsigned int held in signed integer value.

Xen style - spaces immediately surrounding binary operators.
