You could pass in a source indication, maybe? Presumably, at least one
of the callers further up the chain knows...

It's still channel-path related, though :)

The important point is probably is that userspace needs to be aware
that the same channel-path related event is reported on all affected
subchannels, and they therefore need some appropriate handling on their
side.
