It's a pity that this branch didn't make it through.

One can find such posts-

https://www.linuxsystems.it/2012/05/gentoo-g45-gm45-h264-vaapi-video-decoding/

but still, we are now at 1.5.0 and...

$ vainfo                                                                
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/va/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_37
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.37 (libva 1.5.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) GM45 Express Chipset
- 1.5.0
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              : VAEntrypointVLD

While MPEG2 is pretty useless, h264 hardware decoding could be quite handy
for
gstreamer/Firefox HTML5 content.
