Dear maintainers, I have reviewed Venkat's work and patches over couple of revision before this version. This morning, he has shown the QAT test results on Crystal Forest and I have found them to be satisfactory.
Please kindly review and if you think that they are acceptable, please help to merge them into meta-intel. Thanks You.
