Phase 8.8: throughput baseline + multi-codec streams + HDR

Per the correctness-before-speed principle: measure before
optimising. Roadmap going in said "QPU dispatch substitution
to hit 30fps@1080p". Measurement on hertz shows the FFmpeg
software path already hits 65-88 fps@1080p across all three
codecs — QPU substitution would be premature optimisation.

So 8.8 ships what's actually useful:
1. Per-frame timing in test_m2m_stream.
2. Multi-frame AV1 + H.264 streams verified byte-exact at
   1080p (closes the "VP9-only stream tests" gap from 8.7).
3. HDR / 10-bit via V4L2_PIX_FMT_P010 + daemon
   pack_p010_to_plane.

Test harness (tools/test_m2m_stream.c):
- Per-frame µs timing via CLOCK_MONOTONIC; reports mean/p50/
  p99/min/max + wall ms + fps.
- Annex-B H.264 parser: split on 3-/4-byte start codes,
  accumulate NALs into access units (push on VCL NAL types
  1 or 5). Without AU grouping FFmpeg rejects SPS/PPS-only
  buffers as "no frame!".
- Format auto-detect (DKIF magic → IVF; else Annex-B).
- Optional 6th arg `[capture]`: nv12m | p010.
- CAPTURE mmap path generalised for num_planes==1 (P010).

Kernel (kernel/daedalus_v4l2_main.c):
- CAPTURE formats array {NV12M, P010}; enum_fmt walks it.
- daedalus_fill_capture_fmt takes a fourcc:
    NV12M: 2 planes, W*H + W*H/2 bytes, bpl=W
    P010:  1 plane,  W*H*2 + W*H bytes, bpl=W*2
- try_fmt preserves caller fourcc when supported.
- daedalus_complete_resp_frame's dmabuf path now sets each
  plane's payload to vb2_plane_size(vb,p) — generalises
  cleanly across 1-plane (P010) and 2-plane (NV12M) layouts;
  the daemon fully populates the plane so payload =
  sizeimage.

Daemon (daemon/src/decoder.c):
- pack_p010_to_plane: YUV420P10LE → P010 single-plane.
  10-bit samples shifted left by 6 to MSB-align in 16-bit
  words per V4L2 ABI. Y at base+0, interleaved CbCr right
  after Y plane (per format spec for single-plane P010).
  Strips source stride padding; respects destination stride.
- daedalus_decoder_run_request dispatches on
  req->capture_pix_fmt (NV12M → pack_nv12_to_planes; P010
  → pack_p010_to_plane; else warn + skip).
- Includes <linux/videodev2.h> for fourcc constants.

Verification on hertz (Pi 5, 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-2712):

1080p throughput baseline (30 frames testsrc, dmabuf path):

  VP9   1080p:  mean 12.0 ms,  p99 15.9 ms,  fps **83.1**, byte-exact ✓
  AV1   1080p:  mean 15.4 ms,  p99 41.0 ms,  fps **65.0**, byte-exact ✓
  H.264 1080p:  mean 11.3 ms,  p99 21.5 ms,  fps **88.3**, byte-exact ✓

All 2-3× over the 30fps-floor-is-fine criterion.

HDR / 10-bit 1080p P010:
  10 frames, 62 MB output, fps **48.8**, byte-exact vs
  `ffmpeg -pix_fmt p010le -f rawvideo`.

Small-frame P010 (320×240): fps 966 — fixed daemon overhead
dominates at low resolutions.

v4l2-compliance unchanged from 8.7: 49/49 passing.
Format enumeration confirms NM12 + P010 on CAPTURE.

Clean SIGTERM + rmmod; no kernel oops/WARN.

Roadmap update (docs/roadmap.md):
- 8.8 marked closed with closure-doc reference, including
  the explicit "QPU substitution not needed" rationale.
- 8.9 reshaped: libva-v4l2-request consumer integration
  (per project_consumer_target memory) — the actual
  user-facing endpoint.

Per correctness-before-speed:
- Measured first; QPU work explicitly justified-out via data.
- Byte-exact pixel comparison for every codec/format combo
  (NV12: VP9, AV1, H.264; P010: VP9 10-bit at 320×240 and
  1080p).
- AU grouping in the Annex-B parser is the correct
  semantic boundary, not just a workaround.
- vb2_plane_size for payload generalises to any plane
  count, not hardcoded to 2.

Phase 8.9 next: libva-v4l2-request integration — close
the loop from YouTube/Firefox to /dev/video0 + daemon
playback.

-1. Profile daemon end-to-end on hertz; identify FFmpeg hot
-   functions per codec.
-2. dlopen daedalus-fourier's per-kernel entry points from
-   the daemon; substitute `daedalus_dispatch_*` for FFmpeg's
-   matching per-block calls (IDCT 4×4 / 8×8, MC, deblock,
-   qpel — from cycles 1, 2, 4, 9).
-3. Validate bit-exactness after each substitution.
-4. Hit 30fps@1080p stable on VP9 — the
-   `30fps-floor-is-fine` memory's user-facing criterion.
-5. Multi-frame AV1 + H.264 round-trips (extend stream
-   tests).
-6. HDR / 10-bit (P010M CAPTURE, depth-aware
-   `pack_nv12_to_planes`).

+### Phase 8.9 — libva-v4l2-request integration (the actual consumer)
+
+1. Patch libva-v4l2-request to recognise our driver via the
+   media controller graph (the
+   `project_consumer_target` memory's libva-v4l2-request-fourier
+   target).
+2. End-to-end test: Firefox / mpv → libva → /dev/video0 →
+   daemon → on-screen frame.
+3. Long-form (60s+) playback stress with buffer recycling.
+4. Multi-frame HDR tests for AV1 + H.264.
+
+After 8.9 the project's user-facing loop is closed.  Optimisation
+phases (QPU dispatch, 4K, encoders) ship when motivated.
