Get the own domid via creation of a temporary event channel. There is

- allocate an unbound event channel specifying DOMID_SELF for the
other end
- read the event channel status which will contain the own domid in
unbound.dom
- close the event channel
Should we look into introducing a way to expose the domid, so that in
the future we might not need to resort to this workarounds to get the
domid?
Maybe in the PV-specific cpuid leaf? It's a shame we didn't put it in
a non-HVM specific leaf when it was made available to HVM for pvshim
reasons.
Couldn't we retroactively generalize the type-agnostic parts of that
leaf?
This would only work for x86. I think we want to have a generic
hypercalls so it can be used by all arch.
