But how would you install the handler on the receiving end? You'd
still need a mechanism to register the Hibernate handler with our
CommandAwareRpcDispatcher...

I think it's simpler the other way around: create the channel outside
Infinispan, register your own receiver, and only pass to Infinispan
the messages that don't contain a certain header - kind of what the
muxing channel in AS7 does.
