Hmm, the ACPI spec explicitly says:

High word = Device #, Low word = Function #.
(e.g., device 3, function 2 is 0x00030002). To refer
to all the functions on a device #, use a function
number of FFFF).

Interesting. Is this just based on general logic,
reading of the linux driver or the ACPI spec?

The ACPI spec itself seems pretty vague. All tables
list devices, where each device has an _ADR entry,
which is built up of PCI device # and function #.
