short answer: Don't, but tell your IBM rep the machine count and the

You are very much invited to bang against the walls of IBM and ask for
an OpenBSD compatible driver for their cards. I didn't succeed. Their
answer was: If I can build a business case, they'll look into it, but
otherwise it's a no-go.

"Business case" means they see enough money lost or not won due to not
having such a driver.
