Added a new OCTEON TX2 rawdev PMD for End Point mode of operation.
See the :doc:`../rawdevs/octeontx2_ep` for more details on this new PMD.
+* **Added synchronous Crypto burst API.**
+
+ A new API is introduced in crypto library to handle synchronous cryptographic
+ operations allowing to achieve performance gain for cryptodevs which use
+ CPU based acceleration, such as Intel AES-NI. An implementation for aesni_gcm
+ cryptodev is provided including unit tests. The IPsec example application and
+ ipsec library itself were changed to allow utilization of this new feature.
