Yes, the container need not be irq-safe but the contained need to be
irqsafe.

Well, I didnt see a need for a function that might show up in the stack.
But I have no strong preference either way.

Sigh. Yes, you are right. Its redundant. Will remove.

Sorry, your question is not clear to me.
I believe this is a new requirement that enforces the contained devices
of an irq-safe domain to be irq-safe as well.

Thanks for your review.
