+ *
+ * This is done by configuring SSEU configuration using the below

+ * userspace intends to use.
+ *
+ * Not all GPUs or engines support this functionality in which case an error
+ * code -ENODEV will be returned.
+ *
+ * Also, flexibility of possible SSEU configuration permutations varies between
+ * GPU generations and software imposed limitations. Requesting such a
+ * combination will return an error code of -EINVAL.
+ *
+ * NOTE: When perf/OA is active the context's SSEU configuration is ignored in
+ * favour of a single global setting.
