> This series of patches defines a set of application burst oriented APIs for

> In the patch set we also have included 2 reference implementations of crypto

> AES-NI instructions and vector operations to accelerate crypto operations and
> the second PMD utilises Intel's Quick Assist Technology (on DH895xxC) to
> provide hardware accelerated crypto operations.

After rebase, small fixes in configs and MAINTAINERS,
Applied, thanks

It is marked as experimental in the documentation and configs.
The API needs to be more tested, discussed and documented.
So it is not stable and no deprecation process is needed to make some changes.
