At present the ipsec xfrom is missing the important step
to configure the anti replay window size.
The newly added field will also help in to enable or disable
the anti replay checking, if available in offload by means
of non-zero or zero value.

Currently similar field is available in rte_ipsec lib for
software ipsec usage. The newly introduced filed can replace
that field as well eventually.

+1 for those changes.
Though AFAIK, it will be an ABI breakage, right?
So probably deserves changes in release notes.

Yep, the only thing why it was put here - to avoid ABI breakage
within rte_security.
Having it in the rte_security_ipsec_xform makes much more sense.

My suggestion would be to update librte_ipsec as part of these
patch series.
