Subject[PATCH v2 1/8] iommu/vt-d: Use non-privileged mode for all PASIDs
Date
Supervisor Request Enable (SRE) bit in a PASID entry is for permission
checking on DMA requests. When SRE = 0, DMA with supervisor privilege
will be blocked. However, for in-kernel DMA this is not necessary in that
we are targeting kernel memory anyway. There's no need to differentiate
user and kernel for in-kernel DMA.

Let's use non-privileged (user) permission for all PASIDs used in kernel,
it will be consistent with DMA without PASID (RID_PASID) as well.
