And in that case we want to make sure that current->domain may enable Argo
for d.

There being just a single call puts this on the edge. If there was another
one not passing current->domain, I think the same argument as above would
hold here. And the general concept is what I think should matter when
writing the dummy implementations.

Thanks, but no - unless I misunderstand how permissions are intended to
work here, I don't think I can make the changes requested, and hence I
can't apply the R-b.
