 * @brief   Mailboxes code.
 *
 * @addtogroup mailboxes
 * @details Asynchronous messages.
 *          <h2>Operation mode</h2>
 *          A mailbox is an asynchronous communication mechanism.<br>
 *          Operations defined for mailboxes:
 *          - <b>Post</b>: Posts a message on the mailbox in FIFO order.
 *          - <b>Post Ahead</b>: Posts a message on the mailbox with urgent
 *            priority.
 *          - <b>Fetch</b>: A message is fetched from the mailbox and removed
 *            from the queue.
 *          - <b>Reset</b>: The mailbox is emptied and all the stored messages
 *            are lost.
 *          .
 *          A message is a variable of type msg_t that is guaranteed to have
 *          the same size of and be compatible with (data) pointers (anyway an
 *          explicit cast is needed).
 *          If larger messages need to be exchanged then a pointer to a
 *          structure can be posted in the mailbox but the posting side has
 *          no predefined way to know when the message has been processed. A
 *          possible approach is to allocate memory (from a memory pool as
 *          example) from the posting side and free it on the fetching side.
 *          Another approach is to set a "done" flag into the structure pointed
 *          by the message.
 * @pre     In order to use the mailboxes APIs the @p CH_USE_MAILBOXES option
 *          must be enabled in @p chconf.h.
