Unlike when resolution change on keyframes, dynamic resolution change
on inter frames doesn't allow to do a stream off/on sequence because
it is need to keep all previous references alive to decode inter frames.
This constraint have two main problems:
- more memory consumption.
- more buffers in use.
To solve these issue this series introduce DELETE_BUF ioctl and remove
the 32 buffers limit per queue.

I know the VIDIOC_CREATE_BUFS allows creating a buffer with a different size than the driver suggests in G_FMT.

But the vb2_ops->queue_setup() could check whether the sizeimages meet its minimal requirement with the current format.

This enables a problem that the driver need to check the buffer size before they make a hardware use a buffer from the rdy_queue.


Thinking of such case, we know a AV1 sequence(VP9 or VP8 didn't have a sequence header) would need a much large buffer for the alternative reference frame.

Then create one special buffer for the altref, the driver need a hardware to pick it from the rdy_queue first or it would be a waste to use it as a regular frame buffer.

Also missing such step would not solve the memory allocation problem.


VP9 conformance tests using fluster give a score of 210/305.
The 25 resize inter tests (vp90-2-21-resize_inter_* files) are ok
but require to use postprocessor.

changes in version 3:
- Use Xarray API to store allocated video buffers.
- No module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Use Xarray inside Verisilicon driver to store postprocessor buffers
   and remove VB2_MAX_FRAME limit.
- Allow Versilicon driver to change of resolution while streaming
- Various fixes the Verisilicon VP9 code to improve fluster score.

changes in version 2:
- Use a dynamic array and not a list to keep trace of allocated buffers.
   Not use IDR interface because it is marked as deprecated in kernel
   documentation.
- Add a module parameter to limit the number of buffer per queue.
- Add DELETE_BUF ioctl and m2m helpers.
