Subject: [PATCH] vp8 encoder: Workaround to force perforamce mode encode

This is a tradeoff between quality and performance to
save power. Use quality-level two as the default
which will disable a couple of high intensity operations.
For eg: There won't be 16xMe layer in the hierarhical motion
estimations which should save significant number of cycles.
Also number of pak passes are now limited to 1.
