    Abstract: A device connected by a link to a host system can include a first port to receive a capability configuration message across a link and a message request receiving logic comprising hardware circuitry to identify a capability of the device identified in the capability configuration message, determine that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation based on a capability hide enable bit in the capability configuration message, and configure a capability linked list to present or hide the capability based on the determination. The device can also include a message response generator logic comprising hardware circuitry to generate a response message indicating that the capability is to be presented or hidden from operation. The device can include a second port to transmit the response message across the link.

    Abstract: A method is described that includes choosing between one of two different ways to cause a memory device to enter a specific one of multiple lower power states that each comprise lower power consumption than a highest low power state. The method also includes asserting a first signal on a first signal line that is coupled to a power management controller of the memory device to indicate to the power management controller that a sideband channel of a memory bus that is coupled to the memory device is activated. The method also includes causing the memory device to enter the specific one of the multiple lower power states by also performing the chosen one of a) sending an in-band signal on said memory bus coupled with said asserting of said first signal, said in-band signal specifying the specific one of the multiple lower power states; or, b) sending a second signal on a second signal line that identifies the specific one of the multiple lower power states.
