Is there direct DMA access to/from the network interface bypassing the CPU?

Doesn't look like it from the article. That could be very interesting, but there could be network architecture constraints that prevent Amazon from providing that from the get-go. And it wouldn't be used in all cases, so that could burn a lot of switch ports. Seems like they're targeting more compute offload and less network appliance.
