Offloading eBPF programs attached to TC (traffic control interface) or XDP (at the driver level) is possible since kernel 4.9, and keeps getting better (more complete, and easier). [Disclaimer: I work for the company working on this.]

Tools in iproute2 package are being updated too, so typically you would attach and offload programs to hardware with `tc`- or `ip`-based command lines.
