* No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
* ZUC EEA3/EIA3 is not supported by dh895xcc devices
* Maximum additional authenticated data (AAD) for GCM is 240 bytes long and must be passed to the device in a buffer rounded up to the nearest block-size multiple (x16) and padded with zeros.
-* Queue pairs are not thread-safe (that is, within a single queue pair, RX and TX from different lcores is not supported).
+* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
+ queue-pair all enqueues to the TX queue must be done from one thread and all dequeues
+ from the RX queue must be done from one thread, but enqueues and dequeues may be done
+ in different threads.)
* A GCM limitation exists, but only in the case where there are multiple
generations of QAT devices on a single platform.
To optimise performance, the GCM crypto session should be initialised for the

-* Queue pairs are not thread-safe (that is, within a single queue pair, RX and TX from different lcores is not supported).
+* Queue-pairs are thread-safe on Intel CPUs but Queues are not (that is, within a single
