So a problem with such an interfaces is that is makes it far too easy to
generate completely broken domains.

You can, for two cpus in the same domain provide, different flags; such
a configuration doesn't make any sense at all.

Now I see why people would like to have this; but unless we can make it
robust I'd be very hesitant to go this route.
