Hey Thomas,
I agree that these need to be removed, and I had planned on doing this
for 17.05 but I have a concern on the requirements for ABI breakage in
relation to this. This enum is unfortunately used in both the
rte_cryptodev and rte_crypto_sym_session structures which are part of
the libraries public API. I don't think it would be feasible to maintain
a set of 17.02 compatible APIs with the changes this would introduce, as
it would require a large number of functions to have 2 versions? Is it
OK to break the ABI for this case?
