Hi Honnappa,

As per the comments received in
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/60499/
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/61013/

Marvell will no longer host the external library for the PMD.
We can have 2 possible solutions to this situation

1. Arm host it somewhere and let people contribute to that.
2. Integrate it inside DPDK repo.
[Honnappa] I don't have any issues with the 2nd option.

Please send your suggestions/concerns.
Since this library provide huge performance improvements over conventional
Openssl. We should not remove it altogether.
We should find a way to host it somewhere.

Regards,
Akhil
