I expect the wgChecker driver will be implemented as a global FDT
driver, not bound to domain state. A checker slot table contains
all WIDs' permissions simultaneously and remains unchanged during
runtime (might be locked). So I think we should not add wgChecker
domain_setup/domain_cleanup callbacks.
