That whole section isn't particularly clear to me to be honest. At least it
may be subject to interpretation leading to different types of behavior IMO.

Are you sure that the "status register" here refers to Link Status?

Also it doesn't say when PMEs can be generated. It only says when it is
required to generate them.

That's a fair point, but I'm not sure this is what actually happens.
