The 5 crypto PMDs that are combined into this IPsec-mb PMD in subsequent patches are: - AESNI_MB - AESNI_GCM - KASUMI - SNOW3G - ZUC There is no change from the user point of view for these PMDs, they still run on x86 as before and use the same EAL arguments. I can add more detail in the v3 of this patch. Thanks, Ciara
