Impact appears to be a sub-protocol under EPAT (from the docs I've seen).
Specifically, all the chips I've used epat with have been labeled impact

You may want to try applying the patch at
http://moomonk.timelords.org/epat. It adds support for the c7/c8 revs of
the epat chip at a slight IO penalty.
