My understanding of the hardware is that there is a max number of
macroblocks that can be worked on at a time.  That works out to
nominally 16 clips.  But large clips can take more resources.  Does
|max_sessions_supported| get updated with the amount that system can
use?  Or is it always a constant?

If it changes depending on system load, then couldn't
|core->max_sessions_supported| be 0 if all of the resources have been
used up?  If that is the case then the below check would appear to be
incorrect.
