I would rephrase that as:

	Set the I/O priority hint. This is only applicable to devices with
	features controlled through priority hints (e.g. block devices
	supporting command duration limits, or CDL). CDL is a way to XXX

and finish the XXX, and apply to the man page as well.

Assume people don't know what CDL is, because that will generally be
true!
