I think this goes back to:

commit 1611977c3d8fdbdac6090cbd1f5555cee4aed6d9
Author: Anthony PERARD <address@hidden>

    pc, Disable vmport initialisation with Xen.
    
    This is because there is not synchronisation of the vcpu register
    between Xen and QEMU, so vmport can't work properly.
    
    This patch introduces no_vmport parameter to pc_basic_device_init.
