I think this description is missing the key points:

* what is that control information (power, data, radio stuff?)
* what happens when the OS is unaware of all of this (i.e. what happens when
  we don't send any configuration)
* is this configurable, or does this describe a physical wiring topology
  (what/who decides which of the group configurations detailed below take
   effect)

And the ultimate question:
* can the devices not just talk among themselves and negotiate that?

Though AFAICU PCIe P2P communication is a shaky topic, so perhaps the answer
to the last question is 'no'
