This is kind of redundant since without being able to get these through
ome other method (HVMOP_get_param) the guest wouldn't be able to access
XenStore in order to find them. But Xen populates them, and it does
allow guests to *rebind* to the event channel port after a reset.

... although this can also be done by querying the remote end of the 
port before reset.

I think you had to do that anyway; I don't think I was supposed to be
putting s->be_port in there anyway; it was supposed to be the
*frontend* port, and I've changed that in my tree.

I'll drop this whole sentence (and fix the typo).
