I guess you are right, this way we may have some extra context restores
for modules which don't have context offs defined, rather than not
restoring them at all. Only thing I can think might prevent this is if
there are modules that never lose context but don't have context
register? How about omap5+?

Well, this code can't do much for that even if it overflows... the type
for the context_lost_counter is unsigned though, maybe it should be
expanded if you are worried...?
