>However, you have to include DMA of the data to and fro. It's unlikely to be worth the very extensive effort of integrating two wildly different technologies.

That is exactly the part where having the FPGA next to the CPU helps... You can transparently access the CPU cache via an AXI slave port on the CPU on AMD's MPSoCs at a rate of up to 16 bytes per cycle and you get multiple of those.
