DMA engines offload copy operations from the CPU to dedicated
hardware, allowing the copies to happen asynchronously.

---help---
This enables the use of DMA engines in the network stack to
offload receive copy-to-user operations, freeing CPU cycles.
Since this is the main user of the DMA engine, it should be enabled;
