The crypto API is in an early state.
It requires more discussions and experiments to declare it stable,
as discussed in http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-November/028634.html
A documentation section will be required in the guides.

This patch contains the initial proposed APIs and device framework for
integrating crypto packet processing into DPDK.
features include:
- Crypto device configuration / management APIs
- Definitions of supported cipher algorithms and operations.
- Definitions of supported hash/authentication algorithms and
operations.
- Crypto session management APIs
- Crypto operation data structures and APIs allocation of crypto
operation structure used to specify the crypto operations to
be performed on a particular mbuf.
- Extension of mbuf to contain crypto operation data pointer and
extra flags.
- Burst enqueue / dequeue APIs for processing of crypto operations.
