Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce ABI change for cryptodev and ethdev
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.

Not sure if this needed to be split into two patches, as this affects two
libraries.
At least, from cryptodev side:

We would be needing one more ABI change, Can I send it now. I discovered
it after I sent this patch.
In the struct rte_crypto_sym_op, we would need to add a pointer to a
security session in the union of session and xform.
Also, Do I need to split this patch into two for crypto and eth?

Akhil
