So, on the mesa end of things, pipe_video_buffer looks like it may be
a better fit for an imported multi-planar format external eglimage
(since at least on some hw sampling a YUV buffer as a texture would
take multiple texture sampler slots), other than the fact that we
wouldn't have any codec in this case..  but does mesa state tracker
understand how to use a pipe_video_buffer as a sampler in a shader
somehow?  Right now I can only see references to pipe_video_buffer
from gallium video stuff.  I'd really prefer not to have to introduce
an extra YUV->RGB blit just to get the video frame into a form that
can be used from GL..

How does the connection between eglImage and omx state tracker work?
I'm probably getting at least a bit confused by the cpp macro hell in
bellagio headers..
