QAT technology is under-going refactoring whereby kernel driver going into Linux mainline.
and user-space into 01.org. There is good traction happening there. 

As for now, all we have now is QAT source package that is using traditional tarball release with
mux layer to switch between coleto-creek and cave-creek chipset variant. The recipe
is not applicable to romley or mohonpeak platform. That is why we are targeting just
meta-crystalforest layer which supports both variants.

Ya, the recipe is long because this single tarball QAT Mux  contains two tarballs for the
above variants. That is why we split into software packages according to platforms.

It seems to me that maybe the recipe can be restructure into a single inc file and two bb files\
for each of above variants?

Is that reasonable ?
