If I print self.device_channel.port1 and compare it to the output of

# xm list --long

It's off by one and device models don't get any events from the VMX domain.

When I add the -1, things work ok i.e. device models do receive events 
from the VMX domain.

port1 = dom0 end of the event channel. That's what the device models 
listen to. port2 = hypervisor/vmx domain end of the event channel.
