That would require changes to init_xen_l4_slots(), afaics, which I'm
not sure we actually want (for, perhaps, being more intrusive than adding
the two lines here).

However, with this I'd like to get back to my earlier remark regarding
the (further) moving of the mapcache_domain_init() invocation: You need
to touch this idle domain specific path anyway. With that I view your
earlier argument as yet more weak, even leaving aside the previously
indicated fallout that this further movement causes.
