Thanks for the information all.
We would need to find out if video decoding hardware exists behind V4L2
in the desktop case, or if that's just for Pi/ARM hardware. I strongly
suspect it's the latter.
Also, since bug 1424201 is older and more generalized, I think this bug
should be marked as a duplicate of that. It's always a bad idea to
describe a solution in a bug rather than just the problem. Because most
of the time that solution turns out to be the wrong one for the problem.
P.S. I am not working on video decoding any more. Only triaging bugs.

Title:
Enable v4l2 hardware accelerated video decode
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Chromium browser is capable of decoding video via v4l2 codecs.
ChromeOS uses this on arm devices to achieve good performance.
Patches to enable this in Linux can be found here
