Yes, we can do that; however, my concern is that if RX and TX are swapped, the
names would at least make this apparent. How should we handle shared memory
(shmem), which does not have names? I may be overthinking this the current
logic that checks the number of cells (mboxes and shmem) is likely sufficient,
and we can infer an ordering from that but I would still prefer to avoid
adding unnecessary complexity/mess.
