Well that would be wrong they can connect to any CSID. We'd be churning 
the user-space ABI and imposing an artificial constraint on what the hw 
can do.

This I think works well and actually maps to what the hardware can do. 
This would be where to talk more about Neil's mux.

That could work too.

Either way I think this is to be hashed out when doing CSID.
