The `VK_KHR_mir_surface` extension is an instance extension.
It provides a mechanism to create a slink:VkSurfaceKHR object (defined by
the `<<VK_KHR_surface>>` extension) that refers to a Mir surface, as well as
a query to determine support for rendering to the windows desktop.

=== New Object Types

None

=== New Enum Constants

  * Extending elink:VkStructureType:
  ** ename:VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MIR_SURFACE_CREATE_INFO_KHR

=== New Enums

None

=== New Structures

  * slink:VkMirSurfaceCreateInfoKHR

=== New Functions

  * flink:vkCreateMirSurfaceKHR
  * flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceMirPresentationSupportKHR

=== Issues

1) Does Mir need a way to query for compatibility between a particular
physical device (and queue family?) and a specific Mir connection, screen,
window, etc.?

*RESOLVED*: Yes, flink:vkGetPhysicalDeviceMirPresentationSupportKHR was
added to address this.

     (later renamed VK_EXT_KHR_surface).

 * Revision 2, 2015-10-02 (James Jones)
   - Added vkGetPhysicalDeviceMirPresentationSupportKHR to resolve issue #1.

 * Revision 3, 2015-10-26 (Ian Elliott)
   - Renamed from VK_EXT_KHR_mir_surface to VK_KHR_mir_surface.

 * Revision 4, 2015-11-28 (Daniel Rakos)
