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.
