I think it's a safe assumption that we will never have more than one firmware trying to enumerate the domains, so it would be safe to let ACPI keep doing its own thing for domain numbers, have the DT code pick domain number using some method we come up with, and for everything else let the architecture code deal with it. There are probably very few systems that have multiple domains but use neither ACPI nor DT.
