+IPsec crypto capability setup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+User who wants mlx5 PCI VFs to be able to perform IPsec crypto offloading need
+to explicitly enable the VF ipsec_crypto capability. Enabling IPsec capability
+for VFs is supported starting with ConnectX6dx devices and above. When a VF has
+IPsec capability enabled, any IPsec offloading is blocked on the PF.
