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. :)
