Actually, with sched_move_domain() having

     /* Do we have vcpus already? If not, no need to update node-affinity */
     if ( d->vcpu )
         domain_update_node_affinity(d);

it should really just be _that_ if() condition to get extended, and the
ASSERT() left alone altogether. Or, if any other path can be proven
to possibly reach the function with no vCPU allocated (I just went
through them and didn't spot any), then it should really be an early
bail from the function rather than a pointlessly complicated ASSERT()
expression. (And for the record, your expression has a coding style
violation anyway in that it begins with a space.)

I think changing the if() was what Julien started with; but overall I think that it makes more sense to update the assumption of the code in question than to require all the callers to be careful not to trip over it.

Doing an early bail might make sense as well.
