Is there a particular reason we are adding this to the ref_pic_list[0-1]
instead of the DPB entries directly?

It feels nicer to avoid making the lists structs when the entries they are
referring to are already in a struct. I think this is the approach Kwiboo took
when adding support for fields in references some time ago.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
