Could you change the commit title to "bump minimum IPSec Multi-buffer version"

I wouldn't say this is correct. The PMDs support these versions, but this patch 
is bumping the minimum
version to make the code more maintainable (it's simpler) and to force users to 
use a newer library
(which includes bugfixes and performance optimizations), with more algorithms 
enabled (win-win situation).

A couple of things more:
- Could you update the AESNI MB (aesni_mb.rst) documentation to show this 
change (the version compatibility table)? 
- There is a macro not needed any longer in ipsec_mb_ops.c: IMB_MP_REQ_VER_STR.

Thanks!
Pablo
