What's the problem there? You can just use one pool then. The number of mboxes 
allocated shouldn't be limited by the sys port: instead, you should have enough 
mboxes to allocate all raw, top and UDP connections. Limiting the number of 
these is the expected way to limit memory usage.

Yes, that would be more flexible, but I don't see a pressing need to change the 
Port API yet another time.
