Right, this line should be preserved.

As we don't care which error we got during find_virq call, we can just
return 0 in case of error, and port number otherwise. Port 0 is never
valid, so this approach can work for the other functions as well.
On the other hand, passing port using pointer and returning actual
error message, as it's done in xenbus_alloc_evtchn(), sounds like a
better approach overall. What do you think?

I missed it.

Will be done.

I was reluctant with inclusion of event channel header into xenbus.
Will be fixed.
