That's even more concerning because it regresses right away in environments where along with boot-time created domains (eligible for console focus) later further domains are created (non of which are eligible for console focus). That is, the step from last boot-time created back to DOMID_XEN may now take excessively long. +1. I vaguely recall making the same concern earlier in the review. One possibility would be to have a list of domains where the console is supported. I don't think it would be necessary to have the list sorted as I view the console switching a debug facility.
