Will do, I need to check again in the ref code for the appropriate wording for
the meaning of these bits. I don't like much FIELD_DMA_ADDR, as its not an
address, or an offset to an address. Here the address must be aligned, which
results in these bits always being 0, so they reuse it to pass per-reference
information.

For readers that did understand the H.264 specification, that a field reflist
has 32 entry should be obvious. That hantro uses 16 entry only is an
undocumented trickery, I'll write something to the best of my knowledge, but
this has been reversed, so don't expect the highest rationale. I will though
document here what I say in the commit, e.g. why this method might not be
robust, so someone can give it a try and make it more robust in the future.
