+Telemetry support
+------------------
+Telemetry support implements SA details and IPsec packet add data counters
+statistics. Per SA telemetry statistics can be enabled using
+``rte_ipsec_telemetry_sa_add`` and disabled using
+``rte_ipsec_telemetry_sa_del``. Note that these calls are not thread safe.
