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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
