_SUN is a number that the system vendors thinks will
mean something to a human.  Eg it may correspond
to a number painted on the outside of a machine.

It  doesn't necessarily have anything to do with electrical
or logical slot numbers on a PCI bus, or any other bus
for that matter.

SMBIOS and ACPI BIOS are independent features of a BIOS.
You can have one, the other, both, or neither.
