This acquires a domain reference, yet I can't see that reference
getting dropped anywhere in the caller.

Well spotted!

I'll add a comment here as a reminder, and I'll drop the domain
reference in the caller (xen/arch/arm/vpl011.c:vpl011_write_data_xen).

Why do you use get_domain_by_id() and not rcu_lock_domain_by_id()? The latter is recommend for short live reference.

Cheers,
