I am fine with an ASSERT().

I added an ASSERT(hardware_domain).

Just to clarify and avoid a round trip. The ASSERT() is not sufficient here. We also need to forbid the user to set xen,enhanced when the HW domain is not NULL, at least until Rahul's pre-allocated event channel series.

This check would have to be done when parsing the configuration. The ASSERT() would be here to ensure that if someone is reworking the parsing, it would get caught nicely rather than a NULL dereference.
