I have asked similar question in the patch email. If it is moving to DPDK, where in DPDK?

> You think no other project would like to use such crypto code?
I would say it depends on the library and what it offers. I definitely think it will be useful for other projects when it is fully developed. This is just my view, may be others have a different opinion. I believe we (Arm community) are trying to find a solution for the current problem. The solution can be a short term solution.

> What are the export restrictions for this code?
I am aware of the export restrictions around crypto code in general. I am not sure about these restrictions in DPDK's context.

I have a question here. If the library was broken (in whatever way) and nobody asked it to be fixed, I am wondering if it is getting used by anyone.
