Yes, I did exactly that in my implementation:

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg/commits/nvenc

The code i wrote there is completely untested(Except that h264 still 
works), because i don't have any compatible hardware, so the one you 
tested is clearly the one that should be prefered.

Dropping SDK <5 support is fine with me, as long as it's not backported 
to 2.6. The primary gain from supporting the old SDK is that it works 
with much older nvidia driver versions.

I'll submit the patch that drops the old API support, so you can rebase 
your patch on top of it.

Looks good to merge otherwise.
