IMHO we should take this for 4.6, there is no point in shipping
obsolete/unused code and leaving it there with the xc_domain_save name
and the supported thing with a 2 suffix will only tempt people to
continue to use or build on it.

The only real risk here is breaking the build, since if it builds it
will surely work.

Wei, final call is yours.
