Sure,

It is not part of RHEL proper .. which is why we are not rebuilding it.

BUT, wiki.centos.org can (and likely should) certainly contain
article(s) / link(s) to make it easy to install.

Also, the Virt SIG  could build or distribute something .. if they want
and if it is redistributable, etc.

The Docs mail list is where one can ask for wiki acess (to add or change
an article about windows support and the fedora iso, etc):
http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

And the CentOS Virt list would be where to discuss building something
(if it exists) for those drivers:
