It is not a clean mailbox system. It is mixing data and commands in the
mailbox...

The driver was originally written for m68k and one can find this code
fragments in it:

    cache_push(virt_to_phys((void *)(instance->hostdata[0])), 8192);
    cache_clear(virt_to_phys((void *)(instance->hostdata[0])), 8192);
    kernel_set_cachemode(instance->hostdata[0], 8192, IOMAP_NOCACHE_SER);
