Before writing this particular part of your reply, did you look as
evtchn_send()? Sending on such ports is similarly denied without
involving XSM. For a good reason, stated in the accompanying comment.
It is therefore simply inconsistent to allow any kind of other
operation on such ports. Hence the patch that Andrew now deems needs
reverting.
In fact I view these ports living in the guest's event channel space
as similarly inappropriate as the ioreq pages - until a few years
back - living in the guest's GFN space.
