Yeah, but I was too lazy to come up with yet another commit message. And
one can argue that without the rest of the patch these two changes are
not that much needed ;-)

Ah right. Good catch.

Yes. The command is run on the host. And yes, it doesn't always
correspond to "always from domain POV". Hence the bool @swapped.
