One concern here is, IOSF is not architectural for all of X86, can we
change this as "Intel Atom IOSF Mailbox Driver support"? Or if you can
confirm we'll use IOSF in the future onchip product, can we change this
as "Intel SOC IOSF Mailbox Driver support"?

Better to rename the file name as well.

Thanks,
