+DLB History List Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Every DLB Load Balancing port (i.e., eventdev port not using RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_SINGLE_LINK flag)
+has a hardware resource call history list entries (HL) associated with it. This count decides the number
+of events that can be inflight to the port from the DLB hardware. DLB has 2048 total HL entries.
+As DLB supports 64 load-balanced ports, by default DLB PMD assigns 32 HL entries to each port.
+Following devargs arguments allow application to control HL entries overriding default mode.
+DLB API rte_pmd_dlb2_set_port_param() allows setting HL entries for the DLB eventdev ports.
+Please refer to section "Fine Tuning History List Entries" in DLB Programmer Guide for details.
