Since drivers are still choosing the context IDs, we have to force the
  XArray to use the ID they've chosen rather than picking one ourselves,
  and handle the case where they give us an ID that's already in use.

Q: This is a new API, perhaps you could force adopters to convert to
not choosing ID and switching to allocated one?

Yes, that's exactly what the next patch (#4) does, when it introduces
 the new API.
