Which CPU do you actually have, a 44 lane or 28 lane Skylake-X?
You should be looking at pages 27 and 28 for Skylake-X not pages 29 and 30
In regards to SLI you would be using PE1 and PE4 for full 16x SLI configuration on the 44 lane Skylkake-X - neither of them have anything to do with PM1 or PM2
PM1 only affects PU1 (U.2 drive port) and PM2 only affects PE6 which is an 8x port - which would only be used in a quad SLI setup
Note though PE4 is only an 8x lane slot on the 28 lane 78** series Skylake-X cpu's, where it is a full 16x on the 44 lane chips
Edit note - when they share CPU lanes (PM2 and PE6), when you select that device to use CPU then the shared counterpart uses PCH lanes. The only thing that actually gets shut off is the PM1 and PU1 as that is one or the other and neither has access to PCH lanes
