[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: add cryptodev xform deprecation notice

[Zhang, Roy Fan]

Hi,

The reason of this change is for a more formal API for cryptodev. Since the
key is for creating session and not meant to be modified by the driver.

The patch is finished I am doing some last checks. Is there any reason to
delay the patch for 19.08?

Regards,
Fan
