VA_ENC_SLICE_STRUCTURE_EQUAL_MULTI_ROWS is added to in the latest
libva (1.8.0) which matches the hardware behaviour:

/** \brief Driver supports any number of rows per slice but they must be the 
same

*       to the previous slices. */

And VA_ENC_SLICE_STRUCTURE_EQUAL_ROWS is kind of deprecated for iHD
since it's somehow introduced in [1] however misleading from what we
actually handle, and one row per slice would not get a good quality.

Caps query support in driver is WIP, and this would fix the multi slice
encoding for VAEntrypointEncSliceLP.

2.7.4

Full support is provided in libva[1] and media-driver[2], and we've
observed it works for multi slice encoding for AVC. (300+ cases)

Prefer to apply this soon with commit message refined.

Applied, thx.
Treating EQUAL_MULTI_ROWS in the same way as the arbitrary-size cases is just 
wrong.

Consider 9 rows, 4 slices - we pick 4 slices with sizes { 3, 2, 2, 2 }, which 
EQUAL_MULTI_ROWS does not allow.

It isn't possible to split the frame into 4 slices at all with the 
EQUAL_MULTI_ROWS structure - the closest options are 3 slices with sizes { 3, 
3, 3 } or 5 slices with sizes { 2, 2, 2, 2, 1 }.

You can see the same problem at 1080p with five slices.

Thanks,

- Mark
