+	The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver.
+	The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's
+	cryptographic and compression offload functionality.
+

+	driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets.  To preserve support for
+	those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept
+	in the tree.  Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to
+	ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4).
