Subject[PATCH v2 4/6] common: DMA-mapping: add DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED_EXECUTABLE attribute
Date
This patch adds the DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED_EXECUTABLE attribute to the
DMA-mapping subsystem.

Some architectures require that writable mappings also be non-executable at
lesser-privileged levels of execution. This attribute is used to indicate
to the DMA-mapping subsystem that it should do whatever is necessary to
ensure that the buffer is executable at an elevated privilege level (by
making it read-only at the lesser-privileged levels, for example).
