The "pipeline" here refers to the display pipeline as in the docs:
https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-kms.html#overview
Given that the VKMS driver is a display driver and that "enum vkms_pipeline_item"
contains those entites, I find easy to understand what we are talking about.
What do you think about leaving the display pipeline as "pipeline" and, once we
add the color pipeline, use "color_pipeline"?
I can rename all instances of "pipeline" to "display_pipeline" (with a lot of work,
100 occurences in igt_vkms.c in 41 patches), but I find it too verbose for little
clarification.
