I don't find value in using the mailbox framework to abstract the
message queues. You've split the resource-manager code in two separate
subsystems, with the complexities introduced by the abstraction, while
still being one implementation. Every message sent requires a tasklet
to be scheduled before continuing and you're unnecessarily waiting for
the tx fifo when you're filling the message queue.

You can effectively implement the same functionality, with 10% of the
code if not involving the mailbox framework.

Doesn't really matter logically, but what you really mean is:

do {
	...
} while (more_data);

So perhaps reasonable to type that.

You're propagating this all the way up to the application.

The message was committed successfully to the queue, there's no reason
for this VM to wait for the receiving VM to start consuming the queue
before returning from mbox_send_message().

As mentioned above, if you move away from the mailbox framework you can
instead keep track of when gh_hypercall_msgq_send() returned "the
message queue was filled up" and wait for the tx interrupt before making
the next call.

This will allow this instance to continue executing to some natural
point of waiting for resources.

Wrap your lines to 80 characters, unless there's a good reason. You
don't have a good reason here.

This is just private data, exposed so that it can be intertwined with
the resource manager implementation.
