Subject: [PATCH 1/5] lib/ethdev: support for inline IPsec events
Adding support for IPsec events in rte_eth_event framework. In inline IPsec
offload, the per packet protocol defined variables, like ESN, would be
managed by PMD. In such cases, PMD would need IPsec events to notify
application about various conditions like, ESN overflow.

I would add some more events to the list (to make it look less like a very
specific case implementation): crypto/auth failed and undefined/unspecified
being the most obvious.
Apart from this, the patchset looks fine.
Understood your point. But crypto/auth failed would be per packet,
right? How are we handling such error cases presently? Just want to make
sure we are not adding two error reporting mechanisms.
