[Libva] HEVC profiles missing

[ratin3 at gmail.com]

Peter, From your email I am getting the impression that none of the intel processor/gpu series support HEVC decoding natively on Linux. however From libva mailing list I see the HEVC related work is going on. What HW platform are the developers using then?

Not available for Linux. We are currently talking with the management of intel on how to also get this for Linux, but did not hear anything back since ~ 2 weeks.
