[Libva] [PATCH] driver_name_map: add nouveau and radeon for Mesa Gallium

[Julien Isorce]

Hi Sean,

Note that this patch "driver_name_map: add nouveau and radeon for Mesa
Gallium" is only for VA_DISPLAY_DRM case.

About your question, all patches regarding gallium backend for vaapi have
landed:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/log/src/gallium/state_trackers/va

But there are still 4 patches for nouveau driver under review, to support
chunk decoding:
https://github.com/CapOM/mesa/commits/st_va_nouveau_chunk_decoding

I have only tested with Nvidia hardware (with nouveau driver so), with
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv player and gstreamer-vaapi on videos
available here:
http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_movies/
http://playready.directtaps.net/smoothstreaming/
https://github.com/malek0512/PLS/raw/master/Tests/centaur_2.mpg
http://www.h264info.com/clips.html

At least for radeon it is already ready, the gallium backend for vaapi is
what AMD support and maintain. Maybe they also use the bridge
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/vdpau-driver for some comparisons.
Christian would be able to give more details about it. But in long terms I
think this bridge will be only used by the Nvidia proprietary driver
(unless they decide to provide a vaapi backend too)

Regards
Julien
