+Vhost asynchronous data path
+----------------------------
+
+Vhost asynchronous data path leverages DMA devices to offload memory
+copies from the CPU and it is implemented in an asynchronous way. It
+enables applcations, like OVS, to save CPU cycles and hide memory copy
+overhead, thus achieving higher throughput.
+
+Vhost doesn't manage DMA devices and applications, like OVS, need to
+manage and configure DMA devices. Applications need to tell vhost what
+DMA devices to use in every data path function call. This design enables
+the flexibility for applications to dynamically use DMA channels in
+different function modules, not limited in vhost.
+
+In addition, vhost supports M:N mapping between vrings and DMA virtual
+channels. Specifically, one vring can use multiple different DMA channels
+and one DMA channel can be shared by multiple vrings at the same time.
+The reason of enabling one vring to use multiple DMA channels is that
+it's possible that more than one dataplane threads enqueue packets to
+the same vring with their own DMA virtual channels. Besides, the number
+of DMA devices is limited. For the purpose of scaling, it's necessary to
+support sharing DMA channels among vrings.
