The FAQ says that it isn't, and that it isn't likely to be in the near
future as (i) they will not lend one to the kernal team and (ii)
technical details on how to drive it are only available at a price,
and possibly only under the terms of a non-disclosure agreement (which
would complicate things by precluding the release of the source code
to any driver which the kernel team write for it).
