Yes, but the databook either adds a note regarding what memory it is
or it can be inferred from the text context. So at least it would be
appropriate to preserve the notes here two:
"eDMA supports only read and write between local (CPU/application) and
remote (PCIe/link partner) memory." Otherwise it's hard to understand
what memory the comment states about.
