IIRC, we discussed whether we still want to keep using multiple
contexts per socket/channel connection to the same pmcd, or whether
to change that to a 1:1 arrangement to simplify the locking.
The current n:1 implementation was only really used for the old
pmchart, which is now long gone.

[The discussion then went on to annoying pmns traversal latency
in the new pmchart metric selector, and someone suggested downloading
and caching the pmns in each client to avoid this .. something like
that]
