Nice and clear commit message, thanks.

As a general rule, English doesn't like repetition in sentences, which
means that having "trapped" twice (or more times) makes the sentence
awkward.

"Trapped frames will be forwarded to the CPU port that is affine to the
inbound user port."

reads much better.

Apart from that...
