Can we have some documentation of this in the code please?

If that's what we're protecting against then this also needs to do
something to ensure that the port we looked up doesn't get deallocated
before or while we look at it.

Why not just take out the level of wrapper for now then add it in when
there's actually an abstraction in there?  The code might end up looking
different anyway.
