VAProfileVP8Version0_3 is not being forwarded when using via regular intel driver while VAProfileVP9Profile0 is forwarded nicely. Not sure if this is a bug though. I assume it is.

It's intentional. VP8 Hybrid Encode is really only supported on one platform, Baytrail. So we don't expose it more generally.

@seanvk is this still the case? Same bug is still present but I can see Haswell bits in the vp8 encoder
