XvMC has long ago been superseded by newer acceleration APIs, such as
VDPAU, and few downstreams still support it. Furthermore XvMC is not
implemented within the hwaccel framework, but requires its own specific
code in the MPEG-1/2 decoder, which is a maintenance burden.
Slice threading does not work with hardware acceleration, as decoding
is per-picture. This fixes Bugzilla #542.

The decoder did not start predicted frames with missing references but
called the end of frame handling on them anyway. This caused an
assertion in the VA API HW accelorator since it tried to render a
picture with uninitialized buffers.
