As an alternative, could I do an alloc_unbound (DOMID_SELF, DOMID_SELF)
and then bind_interdomain to it?
As another alternative, I have previously been using the asm 'int x'
instructions to call isr's... that could work too although of course
without the source code to windows it's hard to tell exactly what the
implications of that might be :)
