PCIe on Stratix IV GT ?

I want to use PCI express (PCIe) on a Stratix IV GT device. The Altera documentation is (in my opinion) a little unclear whether it is possible or not to use. The Stratix IV device handbook, for instance, indicates on some pages that it is possible to use on a GT device whereas other pages indicates that it is only possible on the GX device. Does anyone know what is correct?

Take a look at the family overview (http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/stratix-iv/stx4_siv51001.pdf). GT devices contain 2–4 PCIe hard IP blocks, and you can certainly add more ports when you instantiate them as soft IP blocks.
