This patch introduces a new library within DPDK: librte_ipsec.
The aim is to provide DPDK native high performance library for IPsec
data-path processing.
The library is supposed to utilize existing DPDK crypto-dev and
security API to provide application with transparent IPsec
processing API.
The library is concentrated on data-path protocols processing
(ESP and AH), IKE protocol(s) implementation is out of scope
for that library.
Current patch introduces SA-level API.

SA (low) level API
==================

API described below operates on SA level.
It provides functionality that allows user for given SA to process
inbound and outbound IPsec packets.
To be more specific:
- for inbound ESP/AH packets perform decryption, authentication,
  integrity checking, remove ESP/AH related headers
- for outbound packets perform payload encryption, attach ICV,
  update/add IP headers, add ESP/AH headers/trailers,
  setup related mbuf felids (ol_flags, tx_offloads, etc.).
- initialize/un-initialize given SA based on user provided parameters.

The following functionality:
  - match inbound/outbound packets to particular SA
  - manage crypto/security devices
  - provide SAD/SPD related functionality
  - determine what crypto/security device has to be used
    for given packet(s)
is out of scope for SA-level API.

SA-level API is based on top of crypto-dev/security API and relies on them
to perform actual cipher and integrity checking.
To have an ability to easily map crypto/security sessions into related
IPSec SA opaque userdata field was added into
rte_cryptodev_sym_session and rte_security_session structures.
That implies ABI change for both librte_crytpodev and librte_security.

Due to the nature of crypto-dev API (enqueue/deque model) we use
asynchronous API for IPsec packets destined to be processed by crypto-device.
Expected API call sequence would be:
  /* enqueue for processing by crypto-device */
  rte_ipsec_pkt_crypto_prepare(...);
  rte_cryptodev_enqueue_burst(...);
  /* dequeue from crypto-device and do final processing (if any) */
  rte_cryptodev_dequeue_burst(...);
  rte_ipsec_pkt_crypto_group(...); /* optional */
  rte_ipsec_pkt_process(...);

Though for packets destined for inline processing no extra overhead
is required and synchronous API call: rte_ipsec_pkt_process()
is sufficient for that case.

Current implementation supports all four currently defined
rte_security types.
Though to accommodate future custom implementations function pointers
model is used for both for *crypto_prepare* and *process* impelementations.

Konstantin Ananyev (10):
  cryptodev: add opaque userdata pointer into crypto sym session
  security: add opaque userdata pointer into security session
  net: add ESP trailer structure definition
  lib: introduce ipsec library
  ipsec: add SA data-path API
  ipsec: implement SA data-path API
  ipsec: rework SA replay window/SQN for MT environment
  ipsec: helper functions to group completed crypto-ops
  test/ipsec: introduce functional test
  doc: add IPsec library guide
