+
+   A typical usecase in this mode is with the QAT cryptodev as the primary and
+   a software cryptodev as the secondary slave. This may help applications to
+   process additional crypto workload than what the QAT cryptodev can handle on
+   its own, by making use of the available CPU cycles to deal with smaller
+   crypto workloads.
