VkDirectDriverLoadingListLUNARG - Structure specifying additional drivers to load

Description

When creating a Vulkan instance for which additional drivers are to be included, add a DirectDriverLoadingListLUNARG structure to the pNext chain of the InstanceCreateInfo structure, and include in it the list of DirectDriverLoadingInfoLUNARG structures which contain the information necessary to load additional drivers.

PFN_vkGetInstanceProcAddrLUNARG - Type definition for vkGetInstanceProcAddr

Description

This type is compatible with the type of a pointer to the getInstanceProcAddr command, but is used only to specify device driver addresses in DirectDriverLoadingInfoLUNARG::pfnGetInstanceProcAddr.

This type exists only because of limitations in the XML schema and processing scripts, and its name may change in the future. Ideally we would use the PFN_vkGetInstanceProcAddr type generated in the vulkan_core.h header.
