There was another patch on the list doing a very similar thing right
around the time you posted yours. IIUC wireguard implements farming 
out decryption to multiple cores, implementing something in the tunnel
layer seems better. You can do the crypto in process context which is
much more efficient while at it, and put the packets back in order.
