I'm quite surprised that every mdev doesn't create its own ims_domain
in its probe function.

This places a global total limit on the # of vectors which makes me
ask what was the point of using IMS in the first place ?

The entire idea for IMS was to make the whole allocation system fully
dynamic based on demand.

This really wants a goto error unwind
