Apologies for the late response.

This macro was renamed to IMB_AES_BLOCK_SIZE, as you already know.
The problem is that, for compatibility reasons, we had to keep the old macro as 
well.
However, we added a compile time flag to remove these legacy macros, for 
exactly this reason
(NO_COMPAT_IMB_API_053).

I think a solution could be to use this flag in QAT, so the legacy macros are 
not defined.

I will send a patch to fix this.

Thanks,
Pablo
