1. A supercharged internal combustion engine, comprising: at least one cylinder head with at least two cylinders, in which each cylinder has at least one outlet opening for discharging exhaust gases out of the cylinder, and each outlet opening is adjoined by an exhaust line;wherein the at least two cylinders are configured in such a way as to form two groups with in each case at least one cylinder;wherein the exhaust lines of the cylinders of each cylinder group merge in each case to form an overall exhaust line such that an exhaust manifold is formed;wherein the two overall exhaust lines are connected to a two-channel turbine, which comprises a rotor which is mounted on a rotatable shaft in a turbine housing, such that in each case one overall exhaust line is connected to one of two inlet openings of the turbine, wherein each inlet opening is adjoined by one channel of the turbine, wherein the turbine housing comprises a housing wall and a comb-shaped displaceable wall part, the housing wall having a comb-shaped opening upstream of the rotor and downstream of the inlet openings, and wherein the displaceable wall part is displaceable, via a controller, between a first position and a second position,wherein in the first position of the displaceable wall part, the two channels are separated from one another as far as the rotor by the housing wall, such that exhaust-gas streams of the two channels are conducted separate from one another to the rotor,wherein in the second position of the displaceable wall part, the two channels of the turbine are connected to one another within the turbine housing via the comb-shaped opening in the housing wall. 2. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two-channel turbine is a dual-flow turbine in which the two channels are arranged one on top of the other as viewed in a section perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rotor and, at least along an arc-shaped segment, enclose the rotor in spiral form at different radii. 3. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 2, wherein the two inlet openings of the dual-flow turbine are arranged in the housing at different radial distances from the shaft of the turbine. 4. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two-channel turbine is a twin-flow turbine in which the two channels are arranged adjacent to one another and, at least along an arc-shaped segment, enclose the rotor in spiral form at equal radii. 5. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 4, wherein the two inlet openings of the twin-flow turbine are arranged in the housing at the same radial distance from the shaft of the turbine. 6. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing wall is fixedly connected to the housing. 7. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the comb-shaped displaceable wall part is displaceable along an axis of rotation of the rotor. 8. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the comb-shaped displaceable wall part is displaceable along a flow direction of the exhaust gas. 9. The supercharged internal combustion engine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the exhaust lines of the cylinders of each cylinder group merge in each case to form an overall exhaust line, such that two exhaust manifolds are formed, within the cylinder head. 10. A method for an engine system, comprising: during engine operation, with a controller, determining a flow rate of engine exhaust gas; andresponsive to the flow rate exceeding a threshold, adjusting a comb-shaped displaceable wall part to an opened position to thereby open a comb-shaped opening in a housing wall of a turbine housing upstream of a rotor and downstream of inlet openings of the turbine housing, wherein when the displaceable wall part is in the opened position, two channels of the turbine housing are fluidly connected via the opening. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the displaceable wall part is adjusted to the opened position in a flow direction of the exhaust gas. 12. The method as claimed in claim 10 further comprising adjusting the displaceable wall part to the opened position when the exhaust gas flow rate is above the threshold for a first predefined time period. 13. The method as claimed in claim 12 wherein the threshold is a first threshold, the method further comprising, with the controller, adjusting the displaceable wall part to a closed position which closes the opening in the housing wall when the exhaust rate is below a second threshold, the second threshold lower than the first threshold. 14. The method as claimed in claim 13 further comprising adjusting the displaceable wall part to the closed position when the exhaust gas flow rate is above the second threshold for a second predefined time period. 15. A method for an engine system, comprising: during engine operation, with a controller, determining a flow rate of engine exhaust gas;displacing a comb-shaped displaceable turbocharger housing wall part to cover a comb-shaped opening in a housing wall when the exhaust gas flow rate is below a second threshold; andadjusting the displaceable wall part to uncover the opening in the housing wall when the exhaust gas flow rate is above a first threshold, the first threshold higher than the second threshold. 16. A method as claimed in claim 15 wherein the displaceable wall part is switched in a continuously variable fashion via an electronic engine controller coupled to the engine.
