Do you agree with > what was proposed? Tomasz, do you find any thought on mem layout Dmitry suggested? I have one question about mem layout. When the device reports VIRTIO_VIDEO_MEM_LAYOUT_UNSPEC, doesn't the driver want to tell whether it uses contiguous memory or not? In other words, I'm wondering if we should have a field "mem_layout" in virtio_video_resource_create to store one of enum virtio_video_mem_layout type. If so, we might want to add a new type like VIRTIO_VIDEO_MEM_LAYOUT_SG_LIST to tell that contiguous memories aren't used.
