I'm not sure I have a public link to the spec. It's the 100 Series PCH [1].
The document number to look for is 546955 [2] and there actually a bit of
information about this.

Because it's all about access to PCI configuration spaces of the (hidden)
devices.

It's a confusion terminology here. It's a Bridge according to the spec, but
it is *not* a PCI Bridge as you may had a first impression.

Right, it returns all 1:s to any request so PCI core *thinks* it's plugged off
(like D3cold or so).
