Subject: [PATCH 4/5] omap2/3/4: mailbox: use dedicated work queue for handling
mailbox rx interrupt
keventd_wq is a shared work-queue, and should not be used when we
need fast deterministic response. Instead mailbox driver should
use it's own private work-queue, with it's own thread, to ensure
that handling of RX interrupts are not delayed by other drivers.
The tasklet is still used for transmission of mbox messages.
