But do we really need to cover worst case scenario? In theory, one driver can 
set limit to (for example) max 100 slices and if there is a frame with 600 
slices, userspace app would submit 6 decode requests. Basically the same way 
it's done today. While not as performant, it would be good compromise between 
resources and speed.
