The channel abstraction was added so that front ends other than the
kernel filesystem could be used.  For example an nfs-server or an
LD_PRELOAD front end.

Of couse a single filesystem could have multiple front ends, so the
API allows multiple channels per session.  The event loop
implementations don't yet support this, but it would not be too hard
to add it.
