This commit adds details to the releases doc regarding the support provided for IPsec functionality. It is not intended to be upstreamed, simply to solicit feedback regarding the basic IPsec functionality required to secure vxlan traffic as described in the cover letter usecase for the patch series.
The modifications include the addition of IPsec to the OVS feature support table, supported algorithms for encryption/authentication, supported protocols and modes for ESP as well as support for SW/HW encryption.
