[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] security: add reserved bitfields

[Akhil Goyal]

In struct rte_security_ipsec_sa_options, for every new option
added, there is an ABI breakage, to avoid, a reserved_opts
bitfield is added to for the remaining bits available in the
structure.
Now for every new sa option, these reserved_opts can be reduced
and new option can be added.

- removed LIST_END enumerators patch. It will be handled separately.
