Hi Martin, Thanks for helping me forwarding the mail. Hope to have good news from them. Wish you have a good day!

Why GPU will fetch the slot number “0”? Is the slot number assigned to GPU related to any register? Or can we set any bit to fetch the right number? > 2.

It's a long long time since I was the maintainer of the PCI layer in the kernel. Now I maintain just the PCI utilities which display whatever the kernel tells them. I am forwarding your question to the linux-pci mailing list where it hopefully finds a better audience.
