If you are going to remove all the RPS values except for Long Term
wouldn't it be better to rename the field too, either to "flags" or a
bool "is_long_term"?  If we have a field called RPS it really should be
able to have a value for any of the 5 valid Reference Picture Sets that
a DPB entry can belong to.

As a side note, it is important to my code that the DPB array contains
all the DPB entries not just the ones that are in use in this frame.  I
need them so I can track which frames have left the DPB so I can
reuse/free the MV tables associated with them (yes I could keep one for
every entry in the capture Q but that is generally wasteful on memory
and the Pi is often memory constrained). So maybe update the docn on DPB
to make this explicit please? (I suspect that current code does this
anyway as it is generally easier to do than to not.)
