Description of problem: Newer versions of libva enable support for hardware accelerated encoding of AV1, which is required for a number of professional use-cases around creating content. As hardware has become available through 2022 for hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding, RHEL should have a newer libva to take advantage of this capability.

Hey Niels, can you help unstick this please? Also, I just bumped this MR to 2.17.0 since it apparently came out a while ago and is in Fedora too...
Removing needinfo on me. The associated team said they will try to take a look at getting this in for 9.3, the ball is in their court now :-)
Friendly ping? I've bumped the MR to libva 2.19.0 since that's been around for a while in Fedora now...
