Take a look at the Mellanox ConnectX 5 series of cards. They handle DPDK, PVRDMA (basically SR-IOV that allows live migration between hosts), and can even process packets within the NIC for some models. They did a fantastic presentation at AusNOG 2019 which showed off a lot of the features. We tried some out with Vmware and could get 20Gbps throughput (limited by the 2x 10G NICs we had configured) to a VM running Linux with DPDK+VPP.
Plus Mellanox introduced the SwitchDev capability which provides for offloading flow management to the hardware.
