Lee Jones a133f8b65d mailbox: mailbox-test: Correctly repair Sparse warnings
Kbuild test robot reported some Sparse warnings to the tune of:

  sparse: incorrect type in argument 6 (different address spaces)
    expected void const *buf
    got void [noderef] <asn:2>*mmio

This was due to passing variables tagged with the Sparse cookie
'__iomem' through into memcpy() and print_hex_dump() without
adequate protection or casting.  These issues were fixed in a
previous patch suppressing the warnings, but the issue is indeed
still present.

This patch fixes the warnings in the correct way, i.e. by using
the purposely authored memcpy_{from,to}io() derivatives in the
memcpy() case and casting the memory address to (void *) and
forcing Sparse to ignore to ignore it in the print_hex_dump()
case [NB: This is also what the memcpy() derivatives do].

Lee Jones 8ea4484d0c mailbox: Add generic mechanism for testing Mailbox Controllers
This particular Client implementation uses shared memory in order
to pass messages between Mailbox users; however, it can be easily
hacked to support any type of Controller.
