With this commit, the correct method to use git fixline to indicate
a fix of a previous commit has changed. The new rules require the
author of the original code that is being fixed to be on CC.
The logic behind this improvement is that if there is a genuine bug,
one of the ideal people to review is the author of the original code
being fixed. Adding them on Cc makes them aware of the patch, avoiding
it from being passed by accidentally while reading the mailing-list.
Given that the original author (now on Cc:) might not actually review,
there is no value in keeping the Cc: in git commit history. If the
original author performs a review, their Reviewed-by: or Acked-by: is
stored in git history (same as now).

Older generations of QuickAssist hardware
may not support all algorithms supported by newer
generations. When sessions were specific to the device
this only needed to be handled on session creation.
With device-agnostic sessions, a session created
for a newer device may get routed to an older device which
can't support it.
This patch adds an enum to define QAT device generations
and uses this to detect and handle the above case on the
data path.
It also renames the capabilities structures and #defines
to match the generation names and adds the generation
to the device table in the documentation.

For KASUMI F9 algorithm, COUNT, FRESH and DIRECTION
input values need to be contiguous with
the message, as described in the KASUMI and QAT PMD
documentation.
Before, the COUNT and FRESH values were set
as part of the AAD (now IV), but always set before
the beginning of the message.
Since now the IV is set after the crypto operation,
it is not possible to have these values in the
expected location.
Therefore, as these are required to be contiguous,
cryptodev API will expect these them to be passed
as a single buffer, already constructed, so
authentication IV parameters not needed anymore.
