Ah, I'd typo'd 'common' there; I'll go fix that...

We do, in patch 15 when handle_domain_irq() is removed entirely. :)

Removing it immediately in this patch would require more ifdeffery and/or
another copy of handle_domain_irq(), and since the duplication doesn't cause a
functional problem, I think it's better to live with the temporary duplication
for the next few patches than to try to optimize the intermediate steps at the
cost of legibility.

Thanks,
Mark.
