[Bug 1424201]
Although this bug is only about decoding support, I'd like to leave a note about the rendering: AFAIK rendering without any slow copies requires DMABUF support, so processes can share resources on the GPU.
For the Wayland backend this about to land, see bug 1552590, quote:
> Wayland dmabuf surface are located in GPU and can be attached as
EGLImage or wl_buffer. It allows direct rendering to GPU and share the
HW buffer across processes.

Bug description:
The chromium team has done a great job to totally disable hardware
decoding on Linux.
Even ignoring the GPU blacklist does not enable GPU decoding.
How ever the patch is quite simple and it's already working using this
PPA ( using libVA ) :
https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev
the corresponding patch is here :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/chromium-browser/chromium-
browser.trusty.beta/view/head:/debian/patches/enable_vaapi_on_linux.diff
that would be great if we could have this patch indefault Ubuntu
chromium build, this situation is really sad right now, google use
linux to make chromeOS so chromebook are really good at playing videos
but GNU/Linux chromium is slow at doing it.
