I haven't looked at it,  but does OpenVPN use openssl for it's crypto ?
If it does just apply the ocf patch to your openssl dist before building
and add te hconfigure options --with-cryptodev to enable OCF support.

If OpenVPN  doesn't use OpenSSL then it should be easy to look at the
openswan (pluto) patch or the cryptotest tool to see how to call into
cryptodev to make things faster,
