Before we get any users of this function, fix the name (and comments)
to use loose instead of lose.

'lose' is correct in this case,. It's derived from the idiom 'context 
loss'.  more broadly, 'loose' implies a strong sense of agency on the part 
of whatever is doing the 'loosing,' whereas 'lose' does not (it's the PRCM 
that causes the powerdomain to lose context, not the powerdomain itself - 
the powerdomain's logic/memory context is subject to the PRCM's whim)

After a dictionary lookup, I guess you're right.  I guess I've been
spelling that wrong for a while, and it seems I'm not the only one:

Thanks for the English lesson.  ;)
