Comment block mention HSW_CTX_TOTAL_SIZE as 70720 bytes which already
implicitly include RS dwords.
I can add "70720 bytes include resource streamer dwords" to the comments
or do you want me to break this down further still?

I checked, the current code does disable context save and restore for RS
in HSW (commit e80f14b6d36e3e07111cf2ab084ef8dd5d015ce2)

But I've now modified this to:

if (IS_HASWELL(ring->dev))
	flags |= (MI_SAVE_EXT_STATE_EN | MI_RESTORE_EXT_STATE_EN);


so that MI_SET_CONTEXT includes RS context on HSW.

Anyway, this seems to work perfectly fine in HSW as well. I'll include
that in the next version.
