cl_intel_motion_estimation on newer hardware such as DG2?

Hi,

From what I can find online, at https://opencl.gpuinfo.org, it looks like cl_intel_motion_estimation only works up to Gen11 hardware. Is this correct?

I'm guessing that the VME-based hardware was removed in favor of using fully separate hardware, maybe?

If this extension is gone and cannot be supported, is there some kind of alternative to do motion estimation/optical flow on Gen12 Intel GPUs such as the Arc Alchemist lineup? This is a feature present on NVidia GPUs, see https://developer.nvidia.com/opticalflow-sdk

It seems motion estimation is also a DirectX 12 feature (https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/DirectX-12-Motion-Estimator-API-support/td-p/1307513) so I'm hoping Intel will support it on not just older hardware, but current-generation as well.

Thanks in advance!
