Dave, Simona,

This doesn't add new userspace ABI and instead reuses the same ABI that
we use for VIC and NVDEC, but it does technically add a new driver for
one of the multimedia engines.

Given that we have Diogo's VA-API work on gitlab, I think all of the
criteria are met to exercise this.

If you don't have any objections, I'd like to apply this for the
upcoming release.

Thanks,
Thierry
