Yes, I afraid we really need dynamic slice configurations for media.

Could we consider the alternative of only allowing this to be configured on context create? That way we would not need to idle the GPU every time userspace decides to fiddle with it. It is unprivileged so quite an easy way for random app to ruin GPU performance for everyone.

I'm pretty sure Dmitry wants dynamic configurations.
