Instead of the host and guest independently enumerating ports, switch to a control message to add ports where the host supplies the port number so there's no ambiguity or a possibility of a race between the host and the guest port numbers. We now no longer need the 'nr_ports' config value. Since no kernel has been released with the MULTIPORT changes yet, we have a chance to fiddle with the config space without adding compatibility features. This is beneficial for management software, which would now be able to instantiate ports at known locations and avoid problems that arise with implicit numbering in the host and the guest. This removes the 'guessing game' part of it, and management software can now actually indicate which id to spawn a particular port on.
