Apologies, I missed that apple-dart was doing something unusual here. 
However, could we just fix that directly instead?

That's pretty much where we're headed with the domain_alloc_paging 
redesign anyway - at the driver level, operations on a paging domain 
should not need to know about the higher-level usage intent of that 
domain. Ideally, blocking and identity domains should have their own 
distinct ops now as well, but that might be a bit too big a change for 
an immediate fix here.

Thanks,
Robin.
