The summary above says "Jakub: no per-channel", and then you have this
comment about a clear definition of a queue. What is your preference
here, Jakub? I think I have gotten lost in all of the coments.

My request was just to not lump Rx and Tx together under a 'channel'
definition as a new API. Proposals like zctap and 'queues as a first
class citizen' are examples of intentions / desires to move towards Rx
and Tx queues beyond what exists today.
