A quick grep for 0x7fff in the sources for the hypervisor says:

#define IDLE_DOMAIN_ID   (0x7FFFU)
#define is_idle_domain(d) ((d)->domain_id == IDLE_DOMAIN_ID)
#define is_idle_vcpu(v)   (is_idle_domain((v)->domain))

Does this limit us to 32766 DomU's before we need a reboot to reset the
id count?
