I've thought a bit more about this and one great upside of seqnos over a
simple pointer to the request is that we'd need to properly manage
references to the latter. I.e. when we free a request we would need to
ensure that anyone still referencing it is actually gone, and the current
code is unfortunately quite far away from that :(

I think we should keep this refactor idea in mind and look at it again
after no-more-domains and after intel_ringbuffer.c has been simplified.
