Google lead me to this:
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/turbomemory/index.htm?iid=prod_cpro-overview+rhc_turbo

Perhaps you could use the "contact us" link at the top of that page to 
ask intel?

And then report back.

At the very least, it services to show interest, and Intel may well be 
doing something about it.

It's also worth asking on one or both of RHEL{4,5} lists. I've not 
noticed him recently, but there has been an Intel chap hanging out there.
