Sure, maybe it's just intended for a little queue. Register 0x38 value
is 0x00000004, Register 0x3c is 0x00080001, and BAR 4 is 64-bit
prefetchable memory with size=512K. I tested writing arbitary data to
the BAR 4's first few words and it correctly retains (which means they
seem to be really memory instead of registers).

I saw some mention of support CMB for submission queue in the brief of
Intel D3700/3600, maybe this applies to D450x as a successor?

BTW I am not sure about the relationship between Intel D series and P
series SSDs (only knows that D series is for dual-port redundancy), and
I have a P4511 as my boot disk (D4502 is data storage), which comes
with no CMB at all. (P4511 and D4502 shares PCI ID, but not PCI
subsystem ID).
