Some crypto cards are based on a supported chip, but are simply
re-branded. I took a brief look at the Cavium and it looks like they
have their own chips. We don't have support for those. They also state
they have drivers for FreeBSD. Perhaps you can talk them into making
an BSD-licensed OpenBSD driver or donating specs/cards to the project
and someone might offer to write a driver.

There is some (slow) work going on to support newer chips from
Safenet. I guess you can call them "high-performance", since they
claim that the new chips can do >1gbps symmetric crypto ops. The
problem with crypto cards is moving data in and out from the kernel.
But, that's another story.
