So the build now gets warnings?  That's annoying, and then someone else
will have to make the exact same patches that were created here?

I bet all of those drivers don't care because they are running only in
systems with 1 domain, otherwise they would be broken today, right?  But
really, it shouldn't be that hard to get to the "real" PCI device to
provide the correct pointer to the domain for most of these, as I
pointed out in one patch review already.
