This is a prelude to my protected payload patch series.  I'm fixing
the receiver lookups that are currently done "by foot" using
ports_lookup_port.  If the receivers are looked up using some mig
translation function, we can install a new kind of translation
function that uses the protected payload for the object lookup.

I plan to fix any such lookups in Hurd servers using libports, and
probably also in mach-defpager.
