So just to note, the qat_c2xxx(4) man page doesn't exist on the 13 branch; it is still named qat(4) there.

But I suppose this makes the link to man.freebsd.org actually work?

Looking at the releng/13.5 branch, I'm not sure that this version of the driver got merged... Is this right?

The qat_c2xxx driver appeared in FreeBSD 13.0

This isn't correct, it appeared in 14.0.

The original qat driver appeared in 13.0 I believe, and in 14.0 the upstream driver replaced it. qat_c2xxx is a copy of the original driver that only supports Atom C2xxx devices.

Okay, I'm trying to be a lot more detailed than I think we have manpower
to achieve. Please excuse the earlier attempt and consider this instead.
