[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 03/20] security: add hfn override option in PDCP

[Akhil Goyal]

HFN can be given as a per packet value also.
As we do not have IV in case of PDCP, and HFN is
used to generate IV. IV field can be used to get the
per packet HFN while enq/deq
If hfn_ovrd field in pdcp_xform is set,
application is expected to set the per packet HFN
in place of IV. Driver will extract the HFN and perform
operations accordingly.
