Patching WSL2-imported .so

[mostm]

Hi!
Since I have system's DLL patched correctly (your patcher doesn't seem to pick up even 472.12, that's last patched driver by keylase/nvidia-patch), and from Windows itself invoking ffmpeg w/ nvenc accel doesn't result in session limiting, yet I still see session limiter in WSL itself:

I tried your patcher on /usr/lib/wsl/lib/libnvidia-encode.so.1 that's imported from host's %windir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nvmdi*\libnvidia-encode.so.1, and to my surprise, it seems as though this .so doesn't use libnvcuvid.so:

I looked at other issues in the repository, and it seems like providing .so would be helpful, so here it is:
libnvidia-encode.so.1.zip

Hi,

Good news! I've prepared a simple patch that almost works with nvenc. Here my dirty patch:

Feel free to add it to the repository! You only need to add some parameter to enable for WSL.

And I confirm that with a recent (Jun'23) driver like 515.65.01 it works in WSL2 with Win10 22H2 (without patching at all the stock Windows driver).

@lars18th Did you cut off the last few lines of that git patch? It's complaining about being corrupt.
