Description

I'm not sure why level 0 invents a new set of image parameters, it probably makes more sense to just import the vulkan image format list and use that as a baseline so you can remain compatible.

No other API does a layout/type/swizzle as the format without having a name and definition for users.

I don't see any clear advantage in diverging in this area.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Level Zero image format definitions and comparing them with Vulkan's image format list. Determine whether the proposed compatibility baseline is feasible and what API changes would be required; done means an agreed format model and compatibility decision, since the issue names no files or tests.
