Enable deflate for QAT GEN4 devices. This adds (1) logic to create configuration entries at probe time for the compression instances for QAT GEN4 devices; (2) the implementation of QAT GEN4 specific compression operations, required since the creation of the compression request template is different between GEN2 and GEN4; and (3) updates to the firmware API related to compression for GEN4. The implementation configures the device to produce data compressed dynamically, optimized for throughput over compression ratio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
