Chautru, Nicolas June 9, 2022, 12:20 a.m. UTC 
  Intent to resolve in DPDK 22.11 historical usage which prevents
graceful extension of enum and API without troublesome ABI breakage
as well as extending API RTE_BBDEV_OP_FFT for new operation type
in bbdev as well as other new members in existing structures.

 * security: Hide structure ``rte_security_session`` and expose an opaque
   pointer for the private data to the application which can be attached
   to the packet while enqueuing.
