Context ID is introduced by PSCI v1.0, since we are adding v1.0
support, I think we should add this although Linux kernel doesn't use
this till now, it is spec.
And what's more, r0, r1, r2 are already used by current codes, and in
the spec paragraph 5.2.1:
"For PSCI functions that use only 32-bit parameters, the arguments are
passed in R0 to R3 (AArch32) or W0 to W3 (AArch64), with return values
in R0 or W0."
All of these make the r3 the only best register for context ID I think.

Yes, thanks.

OK, will consider register saving.
