This text, in conjunction with existing ARM news, looks confusing to me.
We may have to have clearer feature descriptor for both platforms from
this point.
My suggestion:
* **Updated ipsec_mb crypto driver.**
* Added ARM64 port of ipsec-mb library support and SNOW-3G and ZUC
support for ARM platform.
* Added Intel IPsec MB v1.3 library support for x86 and ARM platform,
see the ....

+This PMD supports wireless cipher suite (SNOW3G, ZUC and KASUMI).
+On Intel processors, it is recommended to use this PMD instead of SNOW3G, ZUC and KASUMI PMDs,
+as it enables algorithm mixing (e.g. cipher algorithm SNOW3G-UEA2 with
