Yes, but this reminds me of something.
As per the comment, the code here only needs to flush context caches for the special domain 0 which is
used to tag the non-present/erroneous caches, seems we should flush the old domain id of present entries
for kdump according to the analysis, other than the new-allocated domain id. Let me ponder more on this.
