I can't tell if I agree without reading the code, and I won't read the
code if the patches do not apply. But don't worry anyway: I do want to
add multiplexing support, so even if not in the exact form you're
proposing, your work will definitely be the starting point for whatever
we end up agreeing on. Which means that your forward porting work will
not be time wasted, whatever happens next.

Anyway I don't expect the forward porting to need too much work.
