+<li><p>Device driver developers use DMA to reduce the burden on the
+main CPU. They open a channel and then use that channel to queue one
+or more DMA requests.</p></li>
+<li><p>Hardware implementers, usually device creators, implement the
+DMA Platform Specific Layer (PSL) so that it will work with the particular
+DMA controller on a device.</p></li>
+</ul><p>Some devices will have more than one DMA controller, which
+means the DMA channel manager may require the hardware implementer
+to provide a means of identifying whether a particular DMA channel
+is of the correct type and on the appropriate controller.</p></section>
