Hi Mark,

Is there any comment or concern about adding a quirk for workable drivers ? We
may use a dynamic frame pool in vaapi decoders and filters for workable drivers
only.

Note since commit e0da916b, a command below doesn't work with the current fixed
frame pool used in vaapi filters. 

$ ffmpeg -hwaccel_output_format vaapi -hwaccel vaapi -i input.mp4 -vf
'scale_vaapi=w=720:h=480' -c:v hevc_vaapi -f null -
[...]
[vf#0:0 @ 0x562847b01050] Error while filtering: Cannot allocate memory
[vf#0:0 @ 0x562847b01050] Task finished with error code: -12 (Cannot allocate
memory)
[vf#0:0 @ 0x562847b01050] Terminating thread with return code -12 (Cannot
allocate memory)
[...]

Thanks
Haihao
