treat the hypervisor as just another domain?

ID 32767 is the "idle" domain, which runs whenever there's no runnable domain.

I think the round-robin scheduler might include the idle domain in the round-robin schedule. It really is very brain-dead -- I expect we will remove it as part of our current scheduler cleanups.
