Off-topic, but I couldn't help pointing out that saying "DMA access to main memory" is even worse than the classic "ATM machine" or "PIN number."

Since we're nitpicking, no it isn't. DMA is a particular method of accessing memory. You can have direct mapped access, cache mediated, PIO, DMA, etc. There can be many different memories, such as expansion cards, where you could DMA to/from, apart from main memory.
