That's the simple change. Beside that you have to maintain a 
list of connections/channels connected to the same target, 
to manage/clean-up resource associated with these 
connections, how to handle error recovery especially target 
reset and host reset...

What is the advantage to have multiple connections/qps on 
the same physical port to the same target? The disavantages 
are wasting resources, instability, no fail-over on physical 
port error...
