+         The dma-buf subsystem provides the framework for sharing buffers
+         for hardware (DMA) access across multiple device drivers and
+         subsystems, and for synchronizing asynchronous hardware access.
+       </para>
+       <para>
+         This is used, for example, by drm "prime" multi-GPU support, but
+         is of course not limited to GPU use cases.
+       </para>
+       <para>
+         The three main components of this are: (1) dma-buf, representing
+         a sg_table and exposed to userspace as a file descriptor to allow
+         passing between devices, (2) fence, which provides a mechanism
+         to signal when one device as finished access, and (3) reservation,
+         which manages the shared or exclusive fence(s) associated with
+         the buffer.
