Add infrastructure for implementing the acomp APIs in the QAT driver and expose the deflate algorithm for QAT GEN2 devices. This adds (1) the compression service which includes logic to create, allocate and handle compression instances; (2) logic to create configuration entries at probe time for the compression instances; (3) updates to the firmware API for allowing the compression service; and; (4) a back-end for deflate that implements the acomp api for QAT GEN2 devices. The implementation configures the device to produce data compressed statically, 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.
