+- ``rx_datapath`` [auto|efx|ef10] (default **auto**)
 
   Choose receive datapath implementation.
   **auto** allows the driver itself to make a choice based on firmware
   features available and required by the datapath implementation.
   **efx** chooses libefx-based datapath which supports Rx scatter.
+  **ef10** chooses EF10 (SFN7xxx, SFN8xxx) native datapath which is
+  more efficient than libefx-based and provides richer packet type
+  classification, but lacks Rx scatter support.
+
+- ``tx_datapath`` [auto|efx|ef10|ef10_simple] (default **auto**)
+
+  Choose transmit datapath implementation.
+  **auto** allows the driver itself to make a choice based on firmware
+  features available and required by the datapath implementation.
+  **efx** chooses libefx-based datapath which supports VLAN insertion
+  (full-feature firmware variant only), TSO and multi-segment mbufs.
+  **ef10** chooses EF10 (SFN7xxx, SFN8xxx) native datapath which is
+  more efficient than libefx-based but has no VLAN insertion and TSO
+  support yet.
+  **ef10_simple** chooses EF10 (SFN7xxx, SFN8xxx) native datapath which
+  is even more faster then **ef10** but does not support multi-segment
+  mbufs.
