Hmm, with the domain parameter added, DOMID_XEN there (for
Xen heap pages) could identify no references to be taken, if that
was really the intended behavior in that case. However, even for
Xen heap pages life time tracking ought to be done - it is for a
reason that share_xen_page_with_guest() assigns the target
domain as the owner of such pages, as that allows get_page() to
succeed for them.
