[Bug 2098413] Re: [SRU] Intel Battlemage cards lack hardware encode support

[Timo Aaltonen]

Also, the libvpl sync didn't have a bug ref here, and neither did
onevpl-intel-gpu. The sponsor should check for these...

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The Intel media driver needs a version update to fully support
  Battlemage in 24.4.4, and the required gmmlib version is 22.5.5.
  Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, this version bump should
  be backported to oracular before we file an SRU exception for HWE
  purposes.

  PPA:

  [ Test Plan ]

   * Intel performs extensive validation for the media stack internally
  before releasing.

   * Canonical's Intel squad performs basic testing on successful media
  driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing hardware
  encode/decode on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K. Intel generations
  tested: Lunar Lake, Alder Lake, Tiger Lake

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * Issues can occur if media driver component versions mismatch. In
  this case, we should have gmmlib at 22.5.5, libva at 2.22.0, and the
  media driver (free and non-free) at 24.4.4 (LP: #2098420).

  * If there is any critical bug in the media stack, there could be a
  fallback to software encode/decode, which is slower and more resource-
  intensive.

  [ Other Info ]

  This is dependent on the SRU request in LP: #2098420. These changes
  must land together to avoid compatibility issues
