makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel
driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary
attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.

state and notify application. The read (or write) on the interrupt FD
will then fail with -EIO. This is simpler than adding lots extra uevent
stuff inside UIO.
