/**
 * \defgroup api_vpp Video processing API
 *
 * @{
 *
 * The video processing API uses the same paradigm as for decoding:
 * - Query for supported filters;
 * - Set up a video processing pipeline;
 * - Send video processing parameters through VA buffers.
 *
 * \section api_vpp_caps Query for supported filters
 *
 * Checking whether video processing is supported can be performed
 * with vaQueryConfigEntrypoints() and the profile argument set to
 * #VAProfileNone. If video processing is supported, then the list of
 * returned entry-points will include #VAEntrypointVideoProc.
 *
 * \code
 * VAEntrypoint *entrypoints;
 * int i, num_entrypoints, supportsVideoProcessing = 0;
 *
 * num_entrypoints = vaMaxNumEntrypoints();
 * entrypoints = malloc(num_entrypoints * sizeof(entrypoints[0]);
 * vaQueryConfigEntrypoints(va_dpy, VAProfileNone,
 *     entrypoints, &num_entrypoints);
 *
 * for (i = 0; !supportsVideoProcessing && i < num_entrypoints; i++) {
 *     if (entrypoints[i] == VAEntrypointVideoProc)
 *         supportsVideoProcessing = 1;
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Then, the vaQueryVideoProcFilters() function is used to query the
 * list of video processing filters.
 *
 * \code
 * VAProcFilterType filters[VAProcFilterCount];
 * unsigned int num_filters = VAProcFilterCount;
 *
 * // num_filters shall be initialized to the length of the array
 * vaQueryVideoProcFilters(va_dpy, vpp_ctx, &filters, &num_filters);
 * \endcode
 *
 * Finally, individual filter capabilities can be checked with
 * vaQueryVideoProcFilterCaps().
 *
 * \code
 * VAProcFilterCap denoise_caps;
 * unsigned int num_denoise_caps = 1;
 * vaQueryVideoProcFilterCaps(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *     VAProcFilterNoiseReduction,
 *     &denoise_caps, &num_denoise_caps
 * );
 *
 * VAProcFilterCapDeinterlacing deinterlacing_caps[VAProcDeinterlacingCount];
 * unsigned int num_deinterlacing_caps = VAProcDeinterlacingCount;
 * vaQueryVideoProcFilterCaps(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *     VAProcFilterDeinterlacing,
 *     &deinterlacing_caps, &num_deinterlacing_caps
 * );
 * \endcode
 *
 * \section api_vpp_setup Set up a video processing pipeline
 *
 * A video processing pipeline buffer is created for each source
 * surface we want to process. However, buffers holding filter
 * parameters can be created once and for all. Rationale is to avoid
 * multiple creation/destruction chains of filter buffers and also
 * because filter parameters generally won't change frame after
 * frame. e.g. this makes it possible to implement a checkerboard of
 * videos where the same filters are applied to each video source.
 *
 * The general control flow is demonstrated by the following pseudo-code:
 * \code
 * // Create filters
 * VABufferID denoise_filter, deint_filter;
 * VABufferID filter_bufs[VAProcFilterCount];
 * unsigned int num_filter_bufs;
 *
 * for (i = 0; i < num_filters; i++) {
 *     switch (filters[i]) {
 *     case VAProcFilterNoiseReduction: {       // Noise reduction filter
 *         VAProcFilterParameterBuffer denoise;
 *         denoise.type  = VAProcFilterNoiseReduction;
 *         denoise.value = 0.5;
 *         vaCreateBuffer(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *             VAProcFilterParameterBufferType, sizeof(denoise), 1,
 *             &denoise, &denoise_filter
 *         );
 *         filter_bufs[num_filter_bufs++] = denoise_filter;
 *         break;
 *     }
 *
 *     case VAProcFilterDeinterlacing:          // Motion-adaptive deinterlacing
 *         for (j = 0; j < num_deinterlacing_caps; j++) {
 *             VAProcFilterCapDeinterlacing * const cap = &deinterlacing_caps[j];
 *             if (cap->type != VAProcDeinterlacingMotionAdaptive)
 *                 continue;
 *
 *             VAProcFilterParameterBufferDeinterlacing deint;
 *             deint.type                   = VAProcFilterDeinterlacing;
 *             deint.algorithm              = VAProcDeinterlacingMotionAdaptive;
 *             vaCreateBuffer(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *                 VAProcFilterParameterBufferType, sizeof(deint), 1,
 *                 &deint, &deint_filter
 *             );
 *             filter_bufs[num_filter_bufs++] = deint_filter;
 *         }
 *     }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * Once the video processing pipeline is set up, the caller shall check the
 * implied capabilities and requirements with vaQueryVideoProcPipelineCaps().
 * This function can be used to validate the number of reference frames are
 * needed by the specified deinterlacing algorithm, the supported color
 * primaries, etc.
 * \code
 * // Create filters
 * VAProcPipelineCaps pipeline_caps;
 * VASurfaceID *forward_references;
 * unsigned int num_forward_references;
 * VASurfaceID *backward_references;
 * unsigned int num_backward_references;
 * VAProcColorStandardType in_color_standards[VAProcColorStandardCount];
 * VAProcColorStandardType out_color_standards[VAProcColorStandardCount];
 *
 * pipeline_caps.input_color_standards      = NULL;
 * pipeline_caps.num_input_color_standards  = ARRAY_ELEMS(in_color_standards);
 * pipeline_caps.output_color_standards     = NULL;
 * pipeline_caps.num_output_color_standards = ARRAY_ELEMS(out_color_standards);
 * vaQueryVideoProcPipelineCaps(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *     filter_bufs, num_filter_bufs,
 *     &pipeline_caps
 * );
 *
 * num_forward_references  = pipeline_caps.num_forward_references;
 * forward_references      =
 *     malloc(num__forward_references * sizeof(VASurfaceID));
 * num_backward_references = pipeline_caps.num_backward_references;
 * backward_references     =
 *     malloc(num_backward_references * sizeof(VASurfaceID));
 * \endcode
 *
 * \section api_vpp_submit Send video processing parameters through VA buffers
 *
 * Video processing pipeline parameters are submitted for each source
 * surface to process. Video filter parameters can also change, per-surface.
 * e.g. the list of reference frames used for deinterlacing.
 *
 * \code
 * foreach (iteration) {
 *     vaBeginPicture(va_dpy, vpp_ctx, vpp_surface);
 *     foreach (surface) {
 *         VARectangle output_region;
 *         VABufferID pipeline_buf;
 *         VAProcPipelineParameterBuffer *pipeline_param;
 *
 *         vaCreateBuffer(va_dpy, vpp_ctx,
 *             VAProcPipelineParameterBuffer, sizeof(*pipeline_param), 1,
 *             NULL, &pipeline_buf
 *         );
 *
 *         // Setup output region for this surface
 *         // e.g. upper left corner for the first surface
 *         output_region.x     = BORDER;
 *         output_region.y     = BORDER;
 *         output_region.width =
 *             (vpp_surface_width - (Nx_surfaces + 1) * BORDER) / Nx_surfaces;
 *         output_region.height =
 *             (vpp_surface_height - (Ny_surfaces + 1) * BORDER) / Ny_surfaces;
 *
 *         vaMapBuffer(va_dpy, pipeline_buf, &pipeline_param);
 *         pipeline_param->surface              = surface;
 *         pipeline_param->surface_region       = NULL;
 *         pipeline_param->output_region        = &output_region;
 *         pipeline_param->output_background_color = 0;
 *         if (first surface to render)
 *             pipeline_param->output_background_color = 0xff000000; // black
 *         pipeline_param->filter_flags         = VA_FILTER_SCALING_HQ;
 *         pipeline_param->filters              = filter_bufs;
 *         pipeline_param->num_filters          = num_filter_bufs;

 *   with the requested filters.

 * values for multiple surfaces, the application needs to create as many
 * filter parameter buffers as necessary. i.e. the filter parameters shall
