I think the "cryptodev scheduler PMD" needs changes to take these new parameters into consideration.
Scheduler_pmd_info_get should return the maximum number of these two fields on all the slaves
(like what's done with max number of sessions).

We need to close the subtree today, with all API changes done. Will you have time to make this change today?

Thanks!
Pablo
