Would you mind annotating each of the checks for d != current->domain
with /* no domain_pause(). */, which is our normal practice.

I think it might be better to move the current check for
XEN_DOMCTL_monitor_op into monitor_domctl() itself, to have all checks
together in one place.

You will need to rework the return -EOPNOTSUPP between these two hunks
to avoid missing the domain_unpause()

It would probably be better to pull the check forwards to before the
domain_pause().

The other codepaths look fine.
