Why not add another call to mapcache_domain_init() right here, allowing
a more specific panic() to be invoked in case of failure (compared to
the BUG_ON() upon failure of creation of the idle domain as a whole)?
Then the other mapcache_domain_init() call doesn't need moving a 2nd
time in close succession.


Sorry but I don't get your point, why calling another time `mapcache_domain_init()`? What panic() are you referring to?
