Can anyone take a look at this patch please? This patch enabled Smart
Access Video option, which helps to improve performance of encoding with
supported AMD APU + dGPU.  You can find more details about smart access
video in AMF documentation:
https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/blob/master/amf/doc/AMF_Video_Encode_API.md#229-smartaccess-video
