Are they? What about:
video_parameter_set_id
seq_parameter_set_id
pic_parameter_set_id
short_term_ref_pic_set_size
long_term_ref_pic_set_size

At least I don't see them in linux-next. Maybe that information can be 
obtained in some other way?

Yes, Cedrus needs to know whole list of entry points. I don't think we need to 
worry about offset_len_minus1, list could be pre-processed - just number of 
entry points and their values.

Best regards,
Jernej
