Setting the link fixes vainfo "physically", but not logically. There is
a version mismatch for libva shipping with Vivid (1.5.x / API 0.37.0)
and AMD's driver (1,3.x / API 0.33.0). Unicorn has version 1.3, so AMD's
driver works with that version both logically and physically only.
Output on Vivid Vervet;

I am not totally sure how version mismatches affect libva, but videolan
seems to ignore the hardware accelerated driver, despite finding it.
