Out of curiosity, is it possible to have the single producer logic

I do not think it is possible with additional logic like what is
implemented in softirqs, i.e. per cpu queues of data, which in turn will
be converted into skbs one-by-one.
Couldn't you have two NICs being handled by two separate CPUs, with both
CPUs trying to write to the same socket queue?
The receive path works with RCU locking from what I understand, so
a protocol's receive function must be re-entrant.
