Interesting concept: the guest never knows its CID.  This is nice from a
live migration perspective.  Currently VMCI and virtio adjust listen
socket local CIDs after migration.

Is this for loopback?

Without this if statement the guest will attempt to connect.  I guess
there will be no listen sockets above MAX_HOST_LISTEN_PORT, so the
connection attempt will fail.

...but hardcode this knowledge into the guest driver?
