Not something I've done yet, but it was always part of the idea so that we could e.g. pass through a device to a dedicated domain and then run multiple demu instances there to virtualize it for many domUs. (I'm thinking here of a device that is not SR-IOV and hence would need some bespoke emulation code to share it out). That dedicated domain would be termed the 'driver domain' simply because it is running the device driver for the h/w that underpins the emulation.
