The mailbox IRQ and shmems are not cleaned up atomically, so there is a
race condition. If the shmem is torn down while the IRQ is active, a late
interrupt can trigger a write to un-mapped memory.
If the shmem is torn down while the IRQ is active, and another thread
requests the channel again, we can end up with a channel that has had
its shmem unmapped.
By moving the map to start up and the unmap to teardown, we can let
the mailbox mechanism prevent re-entrance into the startup/teardown
functions.
Avoid doubly unmapping the region by removing the unmap in the
direct error handler for the request.
