Well, it is not quite correct to have multiple connections per-path.

Please take look at interconnect's binding and core.c:

  1. there should be one src->dst connection per-path
  2. each connection should comprise of one source and one destination nodes

Since interconnect binding requires to define both source and
destination nodes for the path, then MC IDs are not enough in order to
define interconnect path because these IDs represent only the source
nodes. Destination node should be either EMC or EMEM.
