This seems pretty neat as I've just started working a project using firecracker. Are the virtio-accel frontend/backends both kernel modules?

the virtio-accel frontend is a kernel module. The backend is VMM specific, so there is one for QEMU and one for AWS Firecracker. Check out https://blog.cloudkernels.net/posts/vaccel_v2/ to give it a try and let us know your thoughts!
