Hi Julien,

Yes I agree, what about:

xen/arm: Reinforce use of is_hardware_domain

Among the common and arm codebase there are few cases where
the hardware_domain variable is checked to see if the current
domain is equal to the hardware_domain, change this cases to
use is_hardware_domain() function instead.
In the eventuality that hardware_domain is NULL, is_hardware_domain
will return false because an analysis of the common and arm codebase
shows that is_hardware_domain is called always with a non NULL 
domain pointer.

Cheers,
Luca
