Hi Jay,

Thanks for contributing to DPDK.

The code has been tested and works fine. 

A few comments:

1. Could you split the patch into a patchset, as suggested in contribution guide in http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html, section 5.4?
2. Please update doc/guides/cryptodevs for describing your virtio crypto PMD.
3. Please update doc/guides/rel_notes/release_18.02. 
4. One more comment inline

Regards,
Fan

Instead of using rte_malloc() as below, you could pre-allocate a mempool and use
rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_get_bulk() to get these memory to store descriptors.
You can use rte_mempool_virt2iova() to obtain the physical address of this memory. This shall
have better performance.
