struct domain is always a page aligned allocation.  Update it's type to
reflect this, so we can safely reuse the lower bits in the pointer for
auxiliary information.

No functional change.

v2:
 * New

Interestingly this does cause two changes in the resulting binary, both caused
by GCC electing to use a more complicated addressing mode to save one ADD
instruction.
