Hi Anthony.
domain_flush_tlb_vhpt() called by arch_domain_destroy()
addresses this scneario.
I don't think the patch resolves the domain crash issue because it
flushes TLB before region ID range is reused.
Have you observed domain crash with the patch?
If the domain crash disappeared with your patch,
we might have different issues, I guess.
