Good point, but the new 'taken' flag will have the same race as con_priv.
We need a lock here and can we use chan->lock or do you prefer this
driver maintains it own for this purpose.
mbox_request_channel releases the lock before calling startup and
mbox_free_channel acquires the after shutdown returns, so technically
we can reuse the same lock.

Good point, thanks for pointing that out, will update.
