What does CQE stand for "compressed queue entry" or something else. As I've asked
others submitting driver patches, please explain out all acronyms used in the
commit message. 

A good rule of thumb is - if it's not checked for capitalization in the
check-git-log.sh script, it's uncommon and needs to be expanded out in commit
messages.
