 * ``PIPE_CAP_DEVICE_PROTECTED_CONTENT``: Whether the device support protected / encrypted content.
 * ``PIPE_CAP_PREFER_REAL_BUFFER_IN_CONSTBUF0``: The state tracker is encouraged to upload constants into a real buffer and bind it into constant buffer 0 instead of binding a user pointer. This may enable a faster codepath in a gallium frontend for drivers that really prefer a real buffer.
 * ``PIPE_CAP_GL_CLAMP``: Driver natively supports GL_CLAMP.  Required for non-NIR drivers with the GL frontend.  NIR drivers with the cap unavailable will have GL_CLAMP lowered to txd/txl with a saturate on the coordinates.
+* ``PIPE_CAP_TEXRECT``: Driver supports rectangle textures.  Required for OpenGL on `!prefers_nir` drivers.  If this cap is not present, st/mesa will lower the NIR to use normal 2D texture sampling by using either `txs` or `nir_intrinsic_load_texture_scaling` to normalize the texture coordinates.
