mboxd: Make window size and number optional command line parameters The window size and number command line parameters are used to control the number of windows and the size of each of the windows in the window cache which the reserved memory region is divided between. Most people won't care about tuning these or just won't know what they refer to. Additionally in the event we change how the window cache works or allow a non-constant window size then the meaning of these becomes unclear. Daemon implementations may also choose to just not implement a cache so making these required parameters may hurt portability. Make the window size and number command line parameters optional rather than required so that they can be largly ignored while people who really care about tuning them can still do so. The default for now is to have windows of size 1MB and to map the entire reserved memory region. That is: number of windows = size of memory region / size of windows This means that the size of the reserved memory region can be reduced and the daemon will adapt to this.

This repo contains the protocol definition for the host to BMC mailbox communication specification which can be found in Documentation/mbox_procotol.md.
There is also a reference implementation of a BMC mailbox daemon, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxd.md.
Finally there is also an implementation of a mailbox daemon control program, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxctl.md.
