Is there some reason to copy libva into third_party instead of pulling it in via
DEPS?

Hint: I think the answer is "no", unless you have local modifications that must
be applied to the third-party code that can't be upstreamed.  If that's the case
then those modifications deserve description here.
I hope you can avoid this with a suitable addition to DEPS (and a corresponding
crbug to get a git mirror set up for UsingNewGit to work)

We are actually thinking with Stephane about this to optimize the driver
ourselves, but not for now at least.

Then please revert the libva part of this CL and add it to DEPS instead (after
asking chrome-infrastructure-team to create a git mirror repo).

Do you know what this line does?  (I don't)

[Pawel Osciak, 2012/03/21 18:40:35]

No, so erring on the side of caution. :) But since it's executed on the GPU
thread, I thought this would be wise...
