Unfortunately I'm not well placed to answer your questions - I work on
IBM POWER systems which use LPC rather than eSPI.

Some of the Intel crew will no doubt be more helpful here, I've added
James on Cc to see if he can give you any pointers. Jeremy has also
been poking at eSPI recently, so I've added him as well.
