From: Aarnav JP <ajp at marvell.com>

CPT Completion Queue is supported on CN20K and provides
hardware-based completion notification, eliminating the
need for software polling. Change the default value of
cpt_cq_enable devarg from 0 to 1 so that CPT CQ is
enabled by default.

+- ``Enable CPT Completion Queue for inline IPsec`` (default ``1`` for CN20K, ``0`` otherwise)
+
+   CPT Completion Queue for inline IPsec event delivery can be enabled or disabled
+   by ``cpt_cq_enable`` devargs parameter.
+   This option is supported on OCTEON CN20K SoC family.
+
+   For example::
+
+      -a 0002:1d:00.0,cpt_cq_enable=1
+
+   With the above configuration, driver would enable CPT completion queue
+   for inline IPsec event delivery instead of using the err-ring poll thread.
