As we are not sure whether there is a field coded slice or CTU, I would hold this part and else about the field.

No, usually the driver should allocate, as the user space have no idea on size of each devices.
But for advantage user, application can fix a broken picture with a proper data or analysis a object motion from that.
So I would suggest attaching this information to a picture buffer as a meta data.
