[PCM]QPI Link Power Management is abnormal

 HI All

    when I disabled Intel QPI Link Power Management in BIOS , I found the L0P and L1 are not zero . 

    I checked the source code , the PCM read those registers :  devide 8 , Function 2 offset A0h ~ A7h and A8h~AFh

    why don't read device 8 , Function 0 offset ACh and B8h ,  these registers will be 0 when I disabled QPI Link Power Management. 

    And they will be non-zero when I enabled QPI Link Power Management.

    Does anyone call explain these registers for me?

    Thank you for your help
