I was talking specifically about the type field you suggested adding
to the handle struct.

Instead of adding a type field check the domain->iopf_handler to
determine the domain and thus handle type.

Right, you have a derived struct for each user and you need a way to
check if casting from the general handle struct to the derived struct
is OK.

I'm suggesting using domain->iopf_handle as the type key.
