+ * The BCM2835 SoC contains (at least) two CPUs; the VideoCore (a/k/a "GPU")
+ * and the ARM CPU. The ARM CPU is often thought of as the main CPU.
+ * However, the VideoCore actually controls the initial SoC boot, and hides
+ * much of the hardware behind a protocol. This protocol is transported
+ * using the SoC's mailbox hardware module.
+ *
+ * The mailbox hardware supports passing 32-bit values back and forth.
+ * Presumably by software convention of the firmware, the bottom 4 bits of the
+ * value are used to indicate a logical channel, and the upper 28 bits are the
+ * actual payload. Various channels exist using these simple raw messages. See
+ * https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/wiki/Mailboxes for a list. As an
+ * example, the messages on the power management channel are a bitmask of
+ * devices whose power should be enabled.
+ *
+ * The property mailbox channel passes messages that contain the (16-byte
+ * aligned) ARM physical address of a memory buffer. This buffer is passed to
+ * the VC for processing, is modified in-place by the VC, and the address then
+ * passed back to the ARM CPU as the response mailbox message to indicate
+ * request completion. The buffers have a generic and extensible format; each
+ * buffer contains a standard header, a list of "tags", and a terminating zero
+ * entry. Each tag contains an ID indicating its type, and length fields for
+ * generic parsing. With some limitations, an arbitrary set of tags may be
+ * combined together into a single message buffer. This file defines structs
+ * representing the header and many individual tag layouts and IDs.
