The code's been tested by a lot of folks already, and importantly,
passes the validation layers (with some warnings due to spec issues
that the workgroup agreed to fix).
The output is also conformant on all implementations.
All the code needs is some looking over to make sure I haven't done
something silly. Valgrind output is clean too.
It is a lot of code in terms of diff, but rather than reviewing each patch
individually, you should just try looking at the final files directly, that way,
you only have a few thousand lines to look at, rather than a few
thousand times twenty.
I've abstracted all the low-level Vulkan stuff from the decoding patchset,
so the output is high-level enough that anyone who's written hwaccels can
understand it.

I'll do that.
