e was when the name could be easily changed. I know of
no simple way to do so now. Any change like this needs to start in QEMU
and be accepted up-stream and in Xen's version of up-stream QEMU. After
that Xen is changed.
The thread
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-06/msg00476.html
looks at this being more general and just VMware.

Since this is optional code, I am having an issue understanding this
statement. Xen will not do anything with BDOOR_PORT when vmware_port=0.
I do not know how at build time to check for run time optional items.
What ports are in use include what QEMU has.
My understanding was that configuration issues like overlapping or
multiple uses of I/O port is the users issue not Xen.
I do not see any code in xen that checks for this for other ports. So
it is not clear what the set of port in xen needs to be checked. The
default range used for dynamic assignment to PCI devices is 0xc000 -
0x, which does not mean that the guest is prevented from adjusting
pci bridges so that BDOOR_PORT is an overlap. But that is true of a lot
of the rest of the ports in Xen.
register_portio_handler() could be changed to check at run time for Xen.
At this time I have no plans to add code related to this.

is appeared to be ok because the added emulation_flags
was a unit32_t.
I have no reason not to use another XEN_X86_EMU_ flag. It was not clear
when I was re-baseing that it would be ok to do so.
Will drop arch_flags and use XEN_X86_EMU_VMWARE_PORT which will not be
added to "all".

Looking at it, it only needs to be a 32-bit quantity. My memory says
