It's logically a part of the interface for callers, but it turns out that,
at least right now, a simple implementation that can completely ignore the
port argument works just fine. That may change in future.

Since Xen/x86 doesn't have per-vcpu Xen stacks, you have to manually create
a continuation (somehow). Depending on what you want to do, we can probably
add what it is you need.
