Hi Yongseok,
	We need to enable 'CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_ARMV8_CRYPTO' (which would require a documentation change in [1]). I think this change might have an impact on the existing users. Does this change need to be documented somewhere (at least in the release notes)?

IIRC, this would impact distro packaging as well. Adding Luca.
