a3df7fa79d Bug fix in qat_compress.c when compressed size is < 4KB
When the 128KB block is compressed to less than 4KB, the pointer
to the Footer is not in the end of the compressed buffer, that's
because the Header offset was added twice for this case. So there
is a gap between the Footer and the compressed buffer.
1. Always compute the Footer pointer address from the start of the
last page.
2. Remove the un-used workaroud code which has been verified fixed
with the latest driver and this fix.

1cfdb0e6e4 Support integration with new QAT products
Support integration with new QAT products: Intel(R) C62x Chipset,
or Atom(R) C3000 Processor Product Family SoC:
1. Detect new file name in auto-conf.
2. Change MAX_INSTANCES to 48.
3. Change "num_inst" to U16 to clean a build warning.

7a25f0891e Change U16 to U32 due to atomic_inc_32_nv
After run a long time with QAT compression, the variable "inst_num"
is overflow by "atomic_inc_32_nv", which causes its neighbor
variable overwritten. Change its definition from U16 to U32.

6a9d635998 GZIP compression offloading with QAT accelerator
This patch implement the hardware accelerator method in GZIP compression
in ZFS. When the ZFS pool is enabled GZIP compression, the compression
API will be automatically transferred to the hardware accelerator to
free up CPU resource and speed up the compression time.

* To enable Intel QAT hardware acceleration in ZOL you need to have QAT
  hardware and the driver installed:
  * QAT hardware DH8950:
  http://ark.intel.com/products/79483/Intel-QuickAssist-Adapter-8950
  * QAT driver:
  https://01.org/intel-quickassist-technology
* Start QAT driver in your system:
  service qat_service start
* Enable QAT in ZFS, e.g.:
  ./configure --with-qat=<qat-driver-path>/QAT1.6
  make
* Set GZIP compression in ZFS dataset:
  zfs set compression = gzip <dataset>
* Get QAT hardware statistics by:
  cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/qat
* To disable QAT in ZFS:
  insmod zfs.ko zfs_qat_disable=1
