+DMA_ATTR_PRIVILEGED
+-------------------
+
+Some advanced peripherals such as remote processors and GPUs perform
+accesses to DMA buffers in both privileged "supervisor" and unprivileged
+"user" modes. This attribute is used to indicate to the DMA-mapping
+subsystem that the buffer is fully accessible at the elevated privilege
+level (and ideally inaccessible or at least read-only at the
+lesser-privileged levels).
