Requesting for Vulkan Video extensions support

[nyanmisaka]

The Vulkan video standard was published in provisional form in April 2021. And the proprietary Vulkan video extension have been implemented in AMDGPU-PRO driver for years and it's only used in AMD AMF internally.

Any chance we can get some beta drivers on AMDVLK for Vulkan video support?

NVIDIA has released beta Vulkan drivers that implement Vulkan Video and a decoding sample was also published for developers. Hope we will not fall behind.

Extensions for Vulkan video:

VK_KHR_video_queue
VK_KHR_video_decode_queue
VK_KHR_video_encode_queue

VK_EXT_video_decode_h264
VK_EXT_video_encode_h264
VK_EXT_video_decode_h265
VK_EXT_video_encode_h265
