+* cryptodev: All PMD names definitions will be moved to the individual PMDs
+ in 17.08.
+
+* cryptodev: The following changes will be done in in 17.08:
+
+ - the device type enumeration ``rte_cryptodev_type`` will be removed
+ - the following structures will be changed: ``rte_cryptodev_session``,
+ ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, ``rte_cryptodev_info``, ``rte_cryptodev``
+ - the function ``rte_cryptodev_count_devtype`` will be replaced by
+ ``rte_cryptodev_device_count_by_driver``
+
+* cryptodev: API changes are planned for 17.08 for the sessions management
+ to make it agnostic to the underlying devices, removing coupling with
+ crypto PMDs, so a single session can be used on multiple devices.
+
+ - ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, dev_id, dev_type will be removed,
+ _private field changed to the indirect array of private data pointers of
+ all supported devices
+
+ An API of followed functions will be changed to allow operate on multiple
+ devices with one session:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create``
+
+ While dev_id will not be stored in the ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``,
+ directly, the change of followed API is required:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session``
+
+* cryptodev: the structures ``rte_crypto_op``, ``rte_crypto_sym_op``
+ and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` will be restructured in 17.08,
+ for correctness and improvement.
