You are talking about a particular application, but the comments should 
be generic. In DEQ ONLY mode, enqueue to cryptodev is responsibility of 
application and should not be from event dev. Actually the application 
will dequeue from event dev and decide that this event comes from NIC 
(say), and it needs to be processed by cryptodev next. So in this case 
the application decides what will happen to the packet and not the event 
dev, so it cannot be bi-directional arrow.

Ok I missed the WORD1 in my previous comment. But my intention was to 
have a common structure of metadata. As in case of ENQ-DEQ mode, both 
request and response will be filled. So having a structure with a union 
of request and response will be misleading.

Do you see anything in the future for configuration. If not, we can
