This helped our systems here! Thanks

Though to be clear the BIOS/ACPI modeling seems to be wrong in a way
which prevents linux from finding the true root port which is the main
cause of this problem.

2030-2033 are *root ports* not host bridges. So when we are in
pci_host_bridge_dev() the code is not looking at the system's host
bridge device at all, but a root port off the host bridge.

Which explains why the non-zero slot is happening.

So this might be better to add a flag 'IS_ROOT_PORT' instead of 'port'
and then just ignore the slot number entirely for root ports.

Though maybe someone has a better idea how the host bridge stuff is
supposed to work on these skylake-e systems.

"insist" mispelled.
