Is this a public interface to the driver? If so, shouldn't the header be
in include/linux somewhere?

Is this a generic interface to any mailbox driver? If so, then I don't
think having "omap" in the symbol names is appropriate. If the header is
specific to the OMAP driver, I don't think using the very generic
filename "mailbox.h" is appropriate; use omap_mailbox.h instead?
