It came out quite clean actually.

I just encapsulated handle mapping and have this in the beginning of
tpm2_map_command:

if (cc == TPM2_CC_FLUSH_CONTEXT)
	return tpm2_map_to_phandle(space, &cmd[TPM_HEADER_SIZE]);

I think this documents better what is actually going on than tinkering
cc_attr_tbl.
