I think it's good to reuse existing frameworks, for example, using
the mailbox abstraction to implement your messaging code.  But I
find there are some minor mismatches between what you need and
the way the mailbox code works.

I'm not really suggesting you change anything, but I'll just say
it seemed like there were a few spots you needed to do things
that were slightly awkward in order to satisfy mailbox requirements.

I'll point out in a few comments what I mean below.

I'll take one more look at it again next time, but I assume this
works and I have no other new comments today.

If you weren't using the mailbox framework, would you be
sending the error to the client in this case?  (I'm just
curious; it's good to document the behavior if you were
to return it to the mailbox framework.)

So you are forced to delay reporting the completion
here because you're using the mailbox framework.

If you weren't using the mailbox framework, you'd send the next
message directly rather than scheduling this tasklet to do it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Follows" here.  You mean that these are
the gh_rm_hyp_resource type values that GET_HYP_RESOURCES can return?

Note that gh_resource_type values must fit in an 8 bit field.

Fix alignment below.

Maybe insert another tab the before 240.  You later define
GH_BELL_NONBLOCK that far out, and aligning them will look
better.
