Well it's a bunch of extensions unfortunately.

Like do we want a meson option vulkan_beta?
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/13685

If we have a vulkan-beta option, does that just enabling building with
the extensions or does it turn on those extensions?
or should we have another meson option for that or even an out of tree
patch in an MR as you suggest?
