Hi Shally,

> - There's no differentiation to device capability and qp capability.  If PMD shows in its feature flag that it
> supports both sym and asym then it must support those on all its qps.
> - if PMD support both but internally has hw with dedicated qp for each service then it *can* split itself
> into two: symmetric only and asymmetric only PMD instances.
> - Currently we don’t see a requirement to dedicate qp to a service, thus no need for
> max_nb_sym/asym_qp or service_type info during qp_setup. However this is open for review and
> discussion and can be added later, if any requirement is identified for same.

> Is that correct?
[Fiona] Yes.
