Unless the cluster PMDA is assigned a domain number > 255 (seems
unlikely at this stage), it "should just work" (tm) ... the low-order 30
bits of a pmID and pmInDom are unchanged with the PMDA_INTERFACE_4 round
of changes.

Now you may _want_ to make changes to the cluster PMDA but I'm not sure
they are necessary before declaring 3.0 ready to go ... indeed one could
argue that 3.0 should happen first then the PMDA_INTERFACE_4 changes are
merged ready for a 3.1 release.
