[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce crypto op struct changes

[Anoob Joseph]

One reserved byte in rte_crypto_op struct would be used to indicate
warnings and other information from the crypto/security operation. This
field will be used to communicate events such as soft expiry with IPsec
in lookaside mode.
