You likely can't simply change the PMC scratch register usage 
arbitrarily; specific registers are designated for specific purposes, 
and code outside the Linux kernel (bootloaders, LP0 resume code, secure 
monitors, etc.) may depend on those specific values being in those 
registers. Without significant research, I'd suggest not changing the 
PMC scratch register usage.
