Good stuff!

I'm also not sure it's currently really worth making them really
dynamically loadable (you mean dlopening them, I guess?). The only
advantages I can see is that they'd be switchable during runtime (which
the design currently doesn't allow) and that new renderers could be
added without recompiling.

+1 for librender. Not sure exactly what you mean by moving libvaapi. I
would prefer that libvaapi code is kept together, and separate from
other code, though whether it's under librender or at top level isn't so
important.
