I do not understand this warning message

Code:
* Messages for package media-libs/mesa-18.2.4:

 * Ignoring USE=vaapi      since VIDEO_CARDS does not contain r600, radeonsi, or nouveau


I have Intel integrated graphics on my laptop. Why does vaapi not work?

It seems that vaapi in mesa it's only for radeon or nouveau. In arch wiki there is an explanatory table https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hardware_video_acceleration#VA-API

The mesa VAAPI driver is a Gallium state tracker, and Intel does not use Gallium. You need to install x11-libs/libva with the correct VIDEO_CARDS set instead.

However intel is supplying its own vaapi implementation in

intel-vaapi-driver

there is also masked intel-vaapi-media-driver which supposed to be a newer reincarnation, but according to https://01.org
where all intel development is focused intel-vaapi-driver is still updated to modern GPU's (I did not read all the details careful enough, in one place
it said that it stopped at gen 5 intel chips, but then in change log updates are going for all modern and future architectures)


As a note, intel-vaapi-driver will require 'intel' VIDEO_CARDS option set for libdrm. intel-vaapi-media-drivers does not use libdrm and VIDEO_CARDS setting is not used.
