I do not think that adding cuda support via DSPContext will work out very
well. The reason is that these functions are all working on small amounts
of data at a time ...
It would make more sense if you would look at the code below HAVE_XVMC.
And implement CUDA support similarely. The XVMC code does the bitstream
decoding in libavcodec while passing motion vectors and idct coeffs to 
XVMC, that way its easy to collect data for many blocks and then work on
them in parallel.
XVMC IIRC supports just mpeg1/mpeg2 though the design can easily be extended
to mpeg4 ASP (divx4/5) and msmpeg4v3 (divx3). H.264 though is a different
beast and will require a seperate (and more complex) solution.

I have often repented speaking, but never of holding my tongue.
