I did an exotic port, and this was my solution (which I still think is a good idea!):

which says:

One of the advantages of the new FileChannel-based implementation
is that we no longer need a separate PlatformFileDescriptor. The
FileChannelImpl serves that need, without the need for an extra
object and extra indirection. Right now FileChannelImpl is not
sub-classed, but it would be perfectly reasonable and a minor
change to use implementation-specific FileChannel[Impl] classes.
