The mode-cold , adds a third variable to reboot-modes as the first parameter for 
invoke_psci_fn is different for cold vs warm/vendor.

cold reset call       : invoke_psci_fn(PSCI_0_2_FN_SYSTEM_RESET, 0, 0, 0);
vendor/warm reset call: invoke_psci_fn(PSCI_FN_NATIVE(1_1, SYSTEM_RESET2), vendor, cookiee, 0);

Each mode will have 3 argument - like:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ 
MODE   , cold reset, reset_type, cookie
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  _ _ _ _ _ _ - 
COLD   ,   1       ,    0      ,     0
WARM   ,   0       ,    0      ,     0
vendor1,   0       ,0x80000000 ,     1
vendor2,   0       ,0x80000010 ,     0

So reboot-mode framework will now define and support upto three 32 bit arguments for each mode?
