NIT: You can use dom here also instead of sbi_domain_thishart_ptr()

Question: Now a domain may have all the channels owned and another may have
none, since MPXY extension will be registered anyways,
sbi_probe_extension(SBI_EXT_MPXY)
will return a present for the domain which does not own any channels.
Is this intended?
