Deciso DEC840/850 Sensei throughput

Kudos to the OPNsense team. We've tested this with L2 Bridge mode and RSS work seems to be running great.

@athurdent, are you on L3 or L2 mode. If L2, we can send you a test binary right away. For L3 mode, stay tuned.

@lilsense, with that CPU score, you should be able to attain 1.5-2 Gbps per CPU core. Multiply that with the number of CPU cores. Scalability should be close to linear.

@mb Very good news, awesome work both of you! 

I‘lll have to stay tuned though, I‘m on L3. Really looking forward to testing this, looks like I could max out my 10G test setup with a score of 524263 (0.41s) and up to 8 possible cores for my VM. If threads also count/do any good, I could go up to 16.

This is great to hear. I'm looking at the new dec750 or a dec840 with warranty breaking ram upgrade possibly. It would mean I wouldn't need to spend the extra for the dec850 for my needs.
