OK, to expand on your answer a bit, the difference is that the HTAB is
allocated from the Xen heap, while the RMA is allocated from the domain
heap. We have to free all domain heap memory in
domain_relinquish_resources(), and only then will domain_destroy() be
called.

I think it might make sense to allocate the HTAB from the domain heap
instead, but it's working for now...
