While this is true, the domain ID has already been validated by the caller
of domain_create and so there is no need to check for domid < 0 here.  If
someone assigns an out-of-range domain ID to the hardware_domid field, the
system will act the same as if any other unused domain ID is specified: a
technically working but realistically unusable system.
