+  be removed in 17.11:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev``

+* cryptodev: the following function will be static in 17.11 and included
+  by all crypto drivers, therefore, will not be public:
+
+  - ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function will have an extra parameter, passing a
+  statically allocated crypto driver structure, instead of calling malloc,
+  in 17.11:

+  - ``rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver``
+
 * librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
   that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
   The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
   (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
   and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
