For my point of view, the ideal thing to happen would be for Intel and AMD to work together to create a DRM object (kernel dma-buf) sharing extension for OpenCL which works on all of their platforms (especially the new ones, AMD ROCm and Intel NEO). I don't think a VAAPI-specific extension is really the right way forward - as far as I can tell there is no good reason to tie it to that specific API (or, even worse, particular driver implementations thereof). Compare Vulkan, which already does all of the interop on Linux via DRM object fds (and which therefore supports clean interop with Beignet, as well as with the Mesa and Intel VAAPI drivers themselves).
