   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
+* vhost: API/ABI changes are planned for 17.05, for making DPDK vhost library
+  generic enough so that applications can build different vhost-user drivers
+  (instead of vhost-user net only) on top of that.
+  Specifically, ``virtio_net_device_ops`` will be renamed to ``vhost_device_ops``.
+  Correspondingly, some API's parameter need be changed. Few more functions also
+  need be reworked to let it be device aware. For example, different virtio device
+  has different feature set, meaning functions like ``rte_vhost_feature_disable``
+  need be changed. Last, file rte_virtio_net.h will be renamed to rte_vhost.h.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for 17.05 in the ``rte_cryptodev_ops`` structure.
+  A pointer to a rte_cryptodev_config structure will be added to the
+  function prototype ``cryptodev_configure_t``, as a new parameter.
+
+* cryptodev: A new parameter ``max_nb_sessions_per_qp`` will be added to
+  ``rte_cryptodev_info.sym``. Some drivers may support limited number of
+  sessions per queue_pair. With this new parameter application will know
+  how many sessions can be mapped to each queue_pair of a device.
+
 * distributor: library API will be changed to incorporate a burst-oriented
   API. This will include a change to ``rte_distributor_create``
   to specify which type of instance to create (single or burst), and
