This isn't necessary anymore.

Perhaps rename this one release_minors to match allocate_minors (much
better name btw)?

This isn't strictly needed as the serial struct release_serial is only
called once when the struct is about to be freed.

All three patches look good otherwise. The port-number disambiguation
was indeed long overdue. Feel free to add
