My gut instinct would be that if multiple devices were part of a given
domain that it would be combined like this:

1. Any device that requests strict makes the domain strict force strict.

2. To request non-strict all of the devices in the domain would have
to request non-strict.

To do that I'd have to change my patchset obviously, but I don't think
it should be hard. We can just keep a count of devices and a count of
the strict vs. non-strict requests? If there are no other blockers
I'll try to do that in my v2.
