One question: Can a domain retrieve its own domid?

Let's say I have /tool/foo/<domid>/key, and I set permissions such that
each domU has appropriate access to its own /tool/foo/<domid>/key. Does
a tool running within the DomU need to iterate through all the
/tool/foo/*/key options until it finds one it has access to, or is there
a better way to determine one's own domid?
