[meta-intel] [PATCH 0/1 daisy/dizzy]: meta-crystalforest:Initial Intel QAT-core Implementation

[Ong, Boon Leong]

Hi community,

I have worked closely with Sundara to ensure his work in good quality.
The enablement is for QAT Mux Software that supports both product lines -
Cave Creeek & Coleto Creek. Currently, as this version QAT software is validated on v3.10
by CID development team, so we are enabling this on daisy and dizzy
for meta-crystalforest BSP. This supports both Crystal Forest (cave-creek chipset) &
Highland Forest (coleto-creek chipset) platforms.  

We welcome comments & improvements. 

Thanks 
Boon Leong
