I'm generally ok with the change, not that I think libva-v4l2 is a good idea,
but we should not intentionally make userspace life difficult. Userspace should
not though assume that every OUTPUT buffer in error will generate an CAPTURE
buffer with error and copied timestamp, this would be completely off spec.
