I'm afraid I can't bring this in line with ...

... this being an OUT field. Is this really what Andrew had asked for?
I would have expected the entire struct to be IN (and the comment at
the top of the containing struct in public/domctl.h also suggests so,
i.e. your new field renders that comment stale). gic_version being
IN/OUT is already somewhat in conflict ... One of the problems with
_any_ of the fields being OUT is that then it is unclear how the output
is intended to be propagated to consumers other than the entity
creating the domain.
