If the driver wants to force identity because paging doesn't work then
yes it needs to figure something out..

Really the drivers should not be designed to do this, they need to
accommodate paging domains in all cases if things are going to work
correctly. The def_domain callback should be a last resort.

There must be a mistake in the above then, it would be good to sort it
out because something like that is the right fix.
