 Once configured, the device can then be made ready for use by calling the
 ``rte_dma_start()`` API.

+Performing Data Copies
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Refer to the :ref:`Enqueue / Dequeue APIs <dmadev_enqueue_dequeue>` section of the dmadev library
+documentation for details on operation enqueue and submission API usage.
+
+It is expected that, for efficiency reasons, a burst of operations will be enqueued to the
+device via multiple enqueue calls between calls to the ``rte_dma_submit()`` function.
