Could you please give an example on what you mean with "accelerate the
flow in HW". Many things could be accelerated and in many different
ways.

It is possible to share the umem between AF_XDP sockets using
xsk_socket__create_shared() function in libbpf. It works between
netdevs, i.e. separate physical cards. But need the example first to
be able to help you in a better way.
