This addition is here in order to ensure that d and pirq are evaluated,
right?

Sure.

If so, I didn't find it obvious to understand. Why didn't you use a
static inline? Or maybe add a comment explicitly say this is not
implemented.

A static inline could be used in this case, yes. But I see no
significant advantages. As to the comment - it is implemented,
it's just a no-op. And stating that it is a no-op would be
redundant with it obviously being so by looking at it.

It's not so obvious as I asked about it.

The first thing I saw was (d) + (pirq) and I though : "Why do we want to add a domain with a pirq?". I only see after the (void) and it just because I remembered we talked about similar case a year ago.

Having a comment doesn't hurt and help the comprehension.
