All fields in the PE are big-endian. Use cpu_to_be32() like everywhere
else something is written to the PE. Otherwise a wrong TID will be used
by the NPU. If this TID happens to point to an existing thread sharing
the same mm, it could be woken up by error. This is highly improbable
though. The likely outcome of this is the NPU not finding the target
thread and forcing the AFU into sending an interrupt, which userspace
is supposed to handle anyway.

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.
