While it does take some effort to obtain the code, there are currently no plans to submit patches or create a public git tree for CCL direct until all of the lower level software is upstream.

The CCL direct code depends on a lower level API called the Symmetric Communications Interface (SCIF).  SCIF abstracts the details of communicating over the PCIe bus while providing an API that is symmetric between the host and coprocessor.  The MIC drivers referenced by the LWN post do not include the SCIF API.  Once SCIF is upstream, patches for CCL direct can be submitted.

The point is that there are actual consumers of peer direct that could use it if it were merged upstream.
