In /sys/bus/pci/slots directory, there are bunch of numbers. What these
numbers mean? Do we expect slot_name for each pci device here?
Some applications read these number as slot_name for pci device. For
example, there is a Solstice SAS adapter on this system, when we dump
detail information for this adapter, we got "Platform Location = 8".

Machine Type = P8
---Steps to Reproduce---
iprconfig->1
In other distros, we see the real location code in this directory. For example:
[root@jupiter1-lp1 slots]# pwd
/sys/bus/pci/slots
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 9 12:15 UTMP3.C02.01AC022-P1-C10
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 9 12:15 UTMP3.C02.01AC022-P1-C2
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 9 12:15 UTMP3.C02.01AC022-P1-C3
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jul 9 12:15 UTMP3.C02.01AC022-P1-C9
or in PowerKVM, It is empty in /sys/bus/pci/slots.
In Ubuntu, these random numbers break some code in iprconfig. What is
generating these in Ubuntu?
Thanks,
Wendy
