  • This patch add the 842 cryptographic API driver that
    submits compression requests to the 842 hardware compression
    accelerator driver (nx-compress).

    If the hardware accelerator goes offline for any reason
    (dynamic disable, migration, etc...), this driver will use LZO
    as a software failover for all future compression requests.
    For decompression requests, the 842 hardware driver contains
    a software implementation of the 842 decompressor to support
    the decompression of data that was compressed before the accelerator
    went offline.
