I think this has something to do with the HP SMBIOS entries.

Incidentally it looks like there is a BIOS bug as Type 9 Slot structures
all point to 0000:00:00.0 (an actual device) not ffff:ff:1f.7 for an
inactive device.

Type 209 lists:
        NIC 1: PCI device 04:00.0, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:00
        NIC 2: PCI device 04:00.1, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:02
        NIC 3: PCI device 04:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:08
        NIC 4: PCI device 04:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0A
        NIC 5: PCI device 04:00.4, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:18
        NIC 6: PCI device 04:00.5, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:1C
        NIC 7: PCI device 04:00.6, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:19
        NIC 8: PCI device 04:00.7, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:1D
        NIC 9: PCI device 05:00.0, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:04
        NIC 10: PCI device 05:00.1, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:06
        NIC 11: PCI device 05:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0C
        NIC 12: PCI device 05:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0E
        NIC 13: PCI device 05:00.4, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:20
        NIC 14: PCI device 05:00.5, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:24
        NIC 15: PCI device 05:00.6, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:21
        NIC 16: PCI device 05:00.7, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:25

type 221 lists:
        NIC 1: PCI device 04:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:08
        NIC 2: PCI device 04:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0A
        NIC 3: PCI device 05:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0C
        NIC 4: PCI device 05:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0E

smbios is using both 209/221 so it is assigning index 
3/1 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:08
4/2 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0a
11/3 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0c
12/4 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0e

Not sure why the others are getting renumbered in the process though
