intel-vaapi-driver 1.8.1

vaapi-intel-driver 1.8.0 introduced a new AVC encoder on SKL+ which bring great improvement to AVC encoding quality , however the new AVC encoder doesn't support multi-slice / ROI / MVC encoding and bitrate control per temporal layer. To avoid unexpected result, we build 1.8.1 release to disable these features on SKL+ and will add these features back in the future.

• Add support for VAConfigAttribEncMaxSlices
• Disable AVC multi-slice encoding on SKL+
• Disable AVC ROI encoding on SKL+
• Disable bitrate control per temporal layer on SKL+
• Disable MVC encoding on SKL+

Highlight: disable unsupported features

• Add support for VAConfigAttribEncMaxSlices
• Disable AVC multi-slice encoding on SKL+
• Disable AVC ROI encoding on SKL+
• Disable bitrate control per temporal layer on SKL+
• Disable MVC encoding on SKL+
