It is known that not all the armv8 platforms have the crypto extension. For example, Mellanox BlueField has a variant which doesn't have it. If crypto enabled binary runs on such a platform, rte_eal_init() fails. '+crypto' flag currently implies only '+aes' and '+sha2' and enabling it will generate the crypto instructions only when crypto intrinsics are used. For the devices supporting 8.2 crypto or newer, compiler could generate such instructions beyond intrinsics or asm code. For example, compiler can generate 3-way exclusive OR instructions if sha3 is supported. However, it has to be enabled by adding '+sha3' as of today. In DPDK, armv8 cryptodev is the only one which requires the crypto support. As it even uses external library of Marvell which is compiled out of DPDK with crypto support and there's run-time check for required cpuflags, crypto support can be disabled in DPDK.
