Hardcoded pipes aren't going to allow us to make the rest of the
code generic because the overall master pipe can be anything when
ultrajoiner isn't used.
Eg. the way we assign the bigjoiner_pipes is by simply setting a
some number (either two or four) of consecutive bits in the mask.
In order for that to keep working universally these functions must
be able to answer questions based on that bitmask, no matter which
consecutive set of bits are set.

Same for for non-ultrajoiner. The only difference is that there is just
the one slave rather than three. But the callers don't need to care
about that in general.
I suspect there is probably only few uses cases for this:
- the master->slave state copying. And there we just want to
go through all the slaves, no matter how many there are
- during the high level modeset sequence (and probably a few
other places as well) we need to simply skip all the slaves,
and again it doesn't matter how many there are
For the plane updates and such we probably don't really need to
care about the master/slave relationships, so the current thing
that just iterates all joined pipes will work perfectly fine.
And for actual modeset sequencing I suspect we just need the
bigjoiner master/slave bitmasks and make sure we iterate through
each in turn:
enable:
1. for_each_reverse(bigjoiner_slaves)
2. for_each_reverse(bigjoiner_masters)
disable:
1. for_each(bigjoiner_masters)
2. for_each(bigjoiner_slaves)

The bspec rename does this:
master -> primary
slave -> secondary
I do agree that what you're going for here would have been pretty
natural way to experss this, but I think that ship sailed when
the annoying bspec rename happened. If we now start using those
same names to refer to a completely different concept I think the
end result will be extremely confusing.
IMO we probably need to slighly extend the ultrajoiner and bigjoiners
terms to cover all the joiner cases, which would look something like this:
- ultrajoiner master/primary = the first pipe in the set
- ultrajoiner slaves/secondaries = the rest of the pipes in the set
- bigjoiner masters/primaries = first pipe + third pipe + ... in the set
- bigjoiner slaves/secondaries = second pipe + fourth pipe + ... in the set
Or perhaps we just drop the "ultra" part form the first two and
speak of just "joiner" in general when referring to things on
that level?
Either that or we try to invent some new terminology for these
two levels of roles that doesn't conflict badly with the bspec
terminology. What that would be I'm not sure. Up/down,
heads/tails, noble/peasant, apple/orange? Nothing truly
inspiring comes to mind right now.
