The page pinning interface is gated by having a notifier registered for
unmaps, therefore non-external domains would also need to register a
notifier.  There's currently no other way to add entries to the
pfn_list.  So if we allow pinning for such domains, then it's wrong to
WARN_ON() when the notifier list is not-empty when removing an external
domain.  Long term we should probably extend page {un}pinning for the
caller to pass their notifier to be validated against the notifier list
rather than just allowing page pinning if *any* notifier is registered.
Thanks,

Alex
