It looks like ctrls() is what is currently used as metadata here.

It gets emitted at the end of this function.
Can we either use ctrls passed in to algo->process() or (preferred)
rename ctrls to metadata here to ensure that /when/ we set metadata in
the algorithms it will reach the pipeline handler?

Probably keep the existing metadata additions in this function still -
converting them can be later, but otherwise this is a partial
implementation for IPU3.

*with that*

I would have had metadata as the last parameter as an 'output'
(inputs, outputs) ... but I bet you've gone alphabetical.

No point changing it though - that's too much work, and this is fine.
