You can't. The motion vector buffer can't share with the luma and chroma 
data planes, nor the data plane for the compression meta data.

You could consider this as a security requirement(the memory region for 
the MV could only be accessed by the decoder) or hardware limitation.

It is also not very easy to manage such a large buffer that would change 
when the resolution changed.
