Specializing do_rcs_switch makes sense, but shouldn't be intermingled with
the bugfix. Assuming I'm reading things correctly the real bugfix is to
add the check for hw_ctx.initialized to should_skip_switch()? If so,
please split into 2 patches - first to add just that check, 2nd to do the
RCS specialization.
