You have to set the irq affinity to utilize the available CPU cores.
There is a script included with the source you used to compile drivers called "set_irq_affinity"
Ex (Sets IRQ Affinity for all available cores) :
[path-to-i40epackage]/scripts/set_irq_affinity -x all ethX
I wish I had the cycles and the kit on hand to play with this!
