These DP splitters don't use any thunderbolt features, so the 
thunderbolt ports are only used as "simple" DisplayPort ports in these 
cases. So no actual PCIe transmission in muxed.
Still, it would be great if somebody could verify that Thunderbolt ports 
work (with the full SW stack) just as well as normal DisplayPort ports do.
