It appears as if those devices are raw flash and could be accessed
through mtd - provided someone either has documentation or creates some
by reverse engineering.
I have tried to obtain documentation and failed. My best guess is that
it is as dead as hybrid disks - those simply don't perform. It would be
neat to use for different purposes, but Intel doesn't seem to see a
business case anymore and won't ship either a Linux driver or
documentation.
In short: forget about it. :)

When in doubt, punt. When somebody actually complains, go back and fix it...
The 90% solution is a good thing.
