This extension defines a special queue family,
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT, which can be used to transfer ownership
of resources backed by external memory to foreign, external queues.
This is similar to ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR, defined in
`<<VK_KHR_external_memory>>`.
The key differences between the two are:
* The queues represented by ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR must share
the same physical device and the same driver version as the current
slink:VkInstance.
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT has no such restrictions.
It can represent devices and drivers from other vendors, and can even
represent non-Vulkan-capable devices.
* All resources backed by external memory support
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR.
Support for ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT is more restrictive.
* Applications should expect transitions to/from
ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_FOREIGN_EXT to be more expensive than transitions
to/from ename:VK_QUEUE_FAMILY_EXTERNAL_KHR.
