Xenstore, to have an up-to-date picture of the entire system, wants to
know of domains appearing and disappearing. To make this more robust, a
new XEN_DOMCTL_get_domain_state was introduced. The management of the
bitmap underlying that operation is tied into the binding of the
VIRQ_DOM_EXC virtual IRQ. Unfortunately an error path there would tear
down the bitmap even in cases when it wasn't set up. Unprivileged domains
can trigger that error path.
