The context specific rpra buffer is allocated as part of 
fastrpc_get_args and there is a possibility that the DSP intends to 
update fdlist for a call with 0 nscalars. In that scenario, the driver 
needs to ensure that the rpra is allocated which will carry the fdlist. 
The same can be extended to crc and dsp perf memory(to be added, patches 
shared for missing features) for remote calls with 0 nscalars.

Thanks for taking your time to review the patches Srini, please let me 
know if you have more queries.
