That's why I thought also when reading this patch:
	http://dpdk.org/commit/dbb336407
Then I've read its message:
"Different than other cryptodev PMDs, scheduler PMD is required to be built
as shared libraries."

I guess the explanation is that it has an API (like bonding has):
	drivers/crypto/scheduler/rte_cryptodev_scheduler.h

However, it is neither referenced in doc/api/doxy-api.conf nor
doc/api/doxy-api-index.md.

I must say the quick overview I had on this PMD is not very promising.
Please Pablo and Fan, try to better explain things in the patches
and get more review on framework integration.
