I thought about that too. Permanent mapping doesn't save you from
having to parse more than once (validating the entries over and
over). Parsing once and saving the info is better but if done
generically, could end up wasting memory. I thought the handler
callout would work best so that the user of the info could decide
what needed saving and how to save it most efficiently. I'll put
together a patch and we can go from there to improve it.

That explains it. The document you linked to only has 10 pages and no
mention of specific attributes. Maybe you have one which is not public
yet.

The mailbox is 4K. If it is next to a cached UEFI region, the kernel may
have to overlap the mailbox with a cached 64K mapping in order to include
the adjoining UEFI region in the linear map. Then the ioremap would fail
because the mailbox is included in the linear mapping.

No. I have nothing to try it on. All firmware implementations I have
access to mark the mailboxes as cached memory. And one requires an
event rather than irq for wakeup because it tries to satisfy both
spin-table and parking protocol at the same time. There's a sad amount
of necessary hackery right now. I'm very keen on psci saving us from
all that on future platforms. And non-compliant existing firmwares
will need to get compliant whenever parking protocol gets pulled in
upstream.
