This wasn't very logical before, and would probably be good if it
got changed while you re-structure it anyway: Rather than
calling maddr_get_owner() and *then* checking "who", that
check should be added to the other surrounding ones, thus
avoiding the possibly pointless call.

Further I wonder whether there aren't more cases for which the
domain ID could be set, as well as whether the !MISCV case
shouldn't also assume the address to be physical. Wouldn't that
be the case e.g. on older CPUs?
