Actually the intent was and still is to map it 1:1 to the modem cid to
make life easier for the drivers. Since we follow 27.007 this makes
sense. The modem driver can still do its own internal id mapping /
management, e.g. isi drivers do this AFAIK. For AT modems I'd like to
avoid doing so...
oFono can be told the range of cids to use. There's nothing precluding
the modem from giving oFono cids that are not in this range when a
context is auto-activated.
However, this gets into a real gray area whether you can have multiple
(network|auto)-activated contexts and whether the cid picked for all of
them is guaranteed to be outside this range.
