Hey Forrest, yes we made the assumption of one device per core the
application, we just default to using queue pair 0 of each crypto
device. It shouldn't be to much work to modify the main() and
initialize_cryptodevs() to instead allocate a cryptodev and queue pair
to each set of cparams. If you are using software crypto PMDs such as
the AESNI_MB PMD the simplest approach is just to create multiple
devices using the EAL options.
