Support for security operations is planned to be added
in ethdev and cryptodev for the 17.11 release.
For this following changes are required.
- rte_cryptodev and rte_eth_dev structures need to be added
new parameter rte_security_ops which extend support for
security ops to the corresponding driver.
- rte_cryptodev_info and rte_ethd_dev_info need to be added
with rte_security_capabilities to identify the capabilities of
the corresponding driver.
