There are some interfaces with signed int as a type for port, e.g. in
include/xen/events.h.
Should I create additional patch to resolve inconsistency with evtchn
interface?
Or you suggest combining these changes into the existing patch?

Also as I understand 'evtchn' and 'port' are essentially the same
entities from perspective of local domain, related to each other roughly
like connection and file descriptor pair. What do you think about
renaming all 'evtchn' arguments and variables to 'port'?
It will eliminate inconsistencies in the code, for example
in include/xen/interface/event_channel.h and include/xen/events.h.
