The code begins -at `hurd/pfinet/ethernet.c`, `ethernet_open()`, the `device_open` call, which -produces `edev->ether_port`.

This can be useful for nicer locking primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap.
