Ah, wasn't aware of this. If this becomes an issue (running of multi-lrc
ids) for customers I suppose this is the first thing we can do to try to
address this. For now, I think we leave it as is.

Good catch. Yes, it techincally possible two multi-lrc contexts to try
to allocate at the same time. I guess I should just do this at driver
load time + allocate the maximum number of multi-lrc ids and possibly
waste a bit of memory on a PF or VF.
