missing documentation, for sure

Also this should probably be in the ops, rather than here? Not sure why
reg_notifier is here.

This also seems excessive if you're not even passing the channel - you
call it for every (affected) channel, but you don't tell it anything
about the channel? Seems strange.


However ...

Why is this even needed? You should always get reg_notifier after this
anyway?
