It was a mixture between the two, the next patch splits the API from the mailbox driver interfaces. I kept the files named as plain mailbox.[ch], in hopes that we could progress with the cleanup after moving the files from plat-omap, as it seems they interfere with the current single Image effort, but if it is preferred (as it seems to be) I can resend again after removing the omap_ prefixes from the intended-to-be generic code.
