[Mesa-stable] [PATCH 4/8] i965: Account for poor address calculations in Haswell CS scratch size.

Curro figured this out by investigating the simulator.  Apparently
there's also a workaround in the Windows driver.  I'm not sure it's
actually documented anywhere.

We were underallocating the scratch buffer by a factor of 128/70.
