Dear Vitaly,

Can you please elaborate? I am unable to parse the sentence. Do you mean 
the SLP_S0# signal on a mainboard? What are “ME systems”? Do you mean AMT?

Where is that limitation you state documented?

Also please mention, that there are problem reports. (But wasn’t it only 
for some devices?)

Please list the bug reports and discussions. Also, please CC the 
affected people.
