This patch announces removal of RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_GMAC from rte_crypto_auth_algorithm and addition of RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_AES_GMAC to rte_crypto_aead_algorithm. AES-GMAC is variation of AES-GCM algorithm with the difference that it does not perform encryption. As a matter of fact internally there is no difference between GMAC and GCM except for the way how data is passed. Moving GMAC to AEAD can simplify way of implementing this alogrithm for example in IPsec (RFC4543).
