Actually I really don't want to introduce this kind of helper, it's slow, ugly
and break the consistency, but I can't find a good way to avoid that...
For example the check inside cma_listen_on_dev(), how could we do per-port check
while don't even know which port will be used later...

I'd like to avoid using such helper as long as possible :-P

This style of logical could be found in other core module too, may be keep
consistent is not a bad idea?
After all, it's just initialization code which relatively rarely used :-)
