> +* **Added self test support to FIPS validation sample application.**
> +
> +  The FIPS validation sample application has been added the KATS self test
> +  functionality. The self test is meant for validating the PMD during the
> +  system initialization. During the test a series of security operations
> +  (cipher, hash, aead, etc.) are performed and checked the known answers.
> +  Once any result does not match the answer the PMD is uninitialized and
> +  removed from the system.

Not sure it is significant enough to appear in the new features of DPDK.
