Change log for January 13, 2019 Vulkan 1.1.98 spec update: * Update release number to 98. Public Issues: * Fix missing markup in flink:vkDestroyPipelineLayout valid usage statement (pull request 882). * Add missing contributors for `<<VK_EXT_buffer_device_address>>` (public pull request 891). Internal Issues: * Detect nested bullet points in valid usage blocks and warn about them during VUID assignment (internal issue 1382). * Update the style guide to document the process for reserving new bits in bitmask types (internal issue 1411). * Clarify for slink:VkApplicationInfo::pname:apiVersion and in the <<fundamentals-validusage-versions, Valid Usage for Newer Core Versions>> section when it is valid for an application to use a certain version of Vulkan API functionality (for an instance and for a device/physical device); and when the validation layers must generate an error (internal issue 1412). * Add optional <<memory-model-availability-visibility, transitive availability/visibility operations to the memory model, including a new pname:vulkanMemoryModelAvailabilityVisibilityChains feature for slink:VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanMemoryModelFeaturesKHR (internal issue 1460). * Add the code:StorageBuffer storage class to those in the <<interfaces-resources-descset, Descriptor Set Interface>> (internal issue 1480). * Add missing `returnedonly` tags for a number of returned extension structures that can be passed in pname:pNext chains (internal issue 1515). * Clean up and rearrange some spec language for slink:VkRenderPassCreateInfo and slink:VkAttachmentReference.txt (internal issue 1522). * Correctly round the code:OpVectorTimesScalar and code:OpMatrixTimesScalar SPIR-V operations in the <<Precision of core SPIR-V Instructions>> table (internal merge request 2996). * Work around cases in flink:vkCmdBeginTransformFeedbackEXT, flink:vkCmdEndTransformFeedbackEXT, and slink:VkPipelineCoverageModulationStateCreateInfoNV where an array parameter is `optional` but the length is not in `vk.xml`. This is an interim fix using `noautovalidity` + handcoded VU replacing those that should be autogenerated (internal issue 2944 and https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-ValidationLayers/issues/480). * Remove redundant capability validation of the code:float16 and code:int8 SPIR-V capabilities from the <<spirvenv-capabilities, Capabilities>> section, since they are already covered in the preceding table. * Update check_spec_links script, including validation for reference page open blocks. Fix errors identified by the script.

This extension is based off the VK_AMD_draw_indirect_count extension.
This extension allows an application to source the number of draw calls for
indirect draw calls from a buffer.
This enables applications to generate arbitrary amounts of draw commands and
execute them without host intervention.
=== New Functions
