Yes. So it is okay to take it off the older roadmap. Right?

Ok. Having them as two item is probably a result of us thinking about them separately. We will update to one item with:

"Additional Hardware and Software Crypto Algorithms"

The details are on Tim's longer announcement to the list: 
"Add support for AES-GCM, AES-CTR, config file support to remove hard-coding of SAs/SPs etc., use forward cipher function to generate IV on CBC mode.""

I don't think it helps to get into that level of detail here.

The name actually came from Adrien's RFC. :-) No problem changing it. "Rx Filtering API" seems fine to me.

Optimize the Cuckoo Hash lookup stages by using intelligent prefetching for keys and using IA AVX instructions for vector processing of keys. The details are on the longer list.

No problem. We can just call it " vHost PMD xStats"


James will make the changes and submit a v2. If you have any other concerns you can just make the changes during merge.
