We don't really need a bounce buffer to handle headers, we can do a
memmove() instead, as we did for the VP8 encoder [1]. However, it was
more like a loopback - the driver would just copy the header that the
userspace set through a control, so we decided to drop it and move
completely to the userspace [2] for H.264.

My point is that the comment suggests that other encoders would be
affected by this, which I don't believe is true, because the code
explicitly checks if the bounce buffer pointer is non-NULL and for
other encoders it would be NULL.
/*
* The bounce buffer is only for the JPEG encoder.
