Ahhh I see. Great idea!

When trying it, I realized that this data[1] byte also contains the
nal_ref_idc on top of the NAL type. Not including it in the value
would result in the decoder misbehaving. But fortunately that
parameter is also passed by user-space, so using that and the IDR_PIC
flag I can reconstruct the information accurately, and the decoder is
happy. Nice!

This means I can also remove the CPU mappings done in the previous
patch. I suspect there is room for further improvement since I see the
stateful part of the driver does the same thing (and submits the same
information to the firmware) - only here we cannot get that
information from userspace-provided parameters.

But at least for the stateless part we don't need the CPU mapping at
all, so I've removed it.
