There is some enum or #define in a header I found recently that suggested there was once QAT acceleration of something XML related! I can’t find any documentation about it though.

It also seems to suggest that it could accelerate hyperscan, but considering the hardware and software are both from Intel and they don't integrate them, maybe it doesn't work or is theoretical.

That’s an interesting view into Intel marketing’s ideas about where CPU-bound customers are burning cycles at scale.

In that context, XML (presumably parsing) is not a surprise.
