Citing the author of the me_cleaner:  For pre-Skylake firmware (ME version <  
11) this tool removes almost everything, leaving only the two fundamental  
modules needed for the correct boot, ROMP and BUP. The code size is reduced  
from 1.5 MB (non-AMT firmware) or 5 MB (AMT firmware) to ~90 kB of compressed  
code.

Starting from Skylake (ME version >= 11) the ME subsystem and the firmware  
structure have changed, requiring substantial changes in me_cleaner. The  
fundamental modules required for the correct boot are now four (rbe, kernel,  
syslib and bup) and the minimum code size is ~300 kB of compressed code (from  
the 2 MB of the non-AMT firmware and the 7 MB of the AMT one).
