[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: announce restructuring of crypto session structs

[Akhil Goyal]

The structures rte_cryptodev_sym_session and
rte_cryptodev_asym_session are not used by the
application directly. The application just need
an opaque pointer which it can attach to rte_crypto_op
while enqueue.
Hence, these structures can be internal to library
hidden from the user.

 * cryptodev: The APIs for interfacing between library and PMD will be marked
   as internal APIs in DPDK 21.11.
 
+* cryptodev: Hide structures ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session`` and
+  ``rte_cryptodev_asym_session`` to remove unnecessary indirection between
+  session and the private data of session. An opaque pointer can be exposed
+  directly to application which can be attached to the ``rte_crypto_op``.
+
 * security: The functions ``rte_security_set_pkt_metadata`` and
   ``rte_security_get_userdata`` will be made inline functions and additional
   flags will be added in structure ``rte_security_ctx`` in DPDK 21.11.
