Right, but i915_gem_context_open() does:
	idr_init(&file_priv->context_idr);
	file_priv->private_default_ctx =
		i915_gem_create_context(dev, file_priv, USES_FULL_PPGTT(dev));

And i915_gem_create_context() calls __create_hw_context(), which does:
	if (file_priv != NULL) {
		ret = idr_alloc(&file_priv->context_idr, ctx,
				DEFAULT_CONTEXT_ID, 0, GFP_KERNEL);
		if (ret < 0)
			goto err_out;
	} else
		ret = DEFAULT_CONTEXT_ID;

So I think the idr_find() should indirectly give us private_default_ctx.
