This is so that we can present the user with a list of channels 
belonging to a bank, right? I.e, they want to create a bank by tagging 
channels into it instead of marking the channel with a specific bank...

So, maybe we need to change the UI to not allow per-memory bank editing 
for any of the radios, but rather make the bank editor more robust, and 
capable of handling the one-to-one and one-to-many bank models.  I'm 
definitely in favor of a unified workflow in the UI. We'll just need to 
change the current bank-supporting drivers to return banks of memories 
(like you have above) and declare whether they support one-to-one or 
one-to-many.

Sound reasonable? I can try to hack some of the UI changes up in a 
prototype patch if this seems like a good path forward.
