AOL: another "none kernel DMA purpose" that doesn't read well. Is
this supposed to be "non-kernel"? What does "claimed for non-kernel
DMA purpose" mean? What interface does that?


It's hard to read. I will rephrase it like this:

/*
* If device joined an existing group which has been claimed, don't
* attach the default domain.
*/
