Yes it is questionable to host some asm code which is doing a processing
not really specific to DPDK.
Also, my first thought was that this library could be used by other projects.
Another concern about integrating this crypto lib in DPDK is to know
whether it would have an impact on DPDK packaging and delivering?
I don't remember any answer about legal export of this crypto processing.
