I want to add a mapped-frame/dummy mode to the CUDA frame allocator, 
where it does everything a normal hwframes ctx does, except allocating 
memory, because the backing memory comes mapped from the cuvid frame.

Which is a simple flag to set, but there is no way to tell it right now.

The structures in the struct you mentioned are private to libavutil, so 
I can't set them from a decoder.
