It looks like there was some misunderstanding when the context info 
parsing was added here
(probably because the spec has some issues that I describe below).
I'll need to clean quite a bit of the context info parsing up. I didn't 
catch this earlier because
we aren't reporting context info in firmware right now for the errors I 
have been testing.

I'll change it in the next set.

I will remove these as they aren't needed.

These were representing the sizes of table 266 and table 267, but 
looking at this more it seems
like some of the spec doesn't make sense:

Table 260 has the Processor Context field which only mentions tables 266 
and 267.
I think that should really be tables 266 - 274 representing all 9 
context types.

Table 265 then has the Register Array field which mentions the contents 
of the array
are described in tables 267 - 271. I think this also should be tables 
266 - 274 to cover
all 9 context types.

And then the text before table 274 is clearly wrong calling it table 
275...seems like there
are several mistakes in the table numbering mentioned in this section.

I'm going to need to update the context info parsing code and add the 
other register array
sizes based on all of the context tables. Looks like the code will need 
to be restructured
some because otherwise there will be quite a bit of duplication.

These will be removed. The exception level and secure context 
information will be covered by
which register context type is being reported.

0 – AArch32 GPRs (General Purpose Registers).
1 -- AArch32 EL1 context registers
2 -- AArch32 EL2 context registers
3 -- Aarch32 secure context registers
4 – AArch64 GPRs
5 -- AArch64 EL1 context registers
6 – Aarch64 EL2 context registers
7 -- AArch64 EL3 context registers
8 – Misc. System Register Structure

This structure should be removed, it doesn't get used in code now.
