Not quite. The bus and device numbers printed at probe/attach time
imply a specific slot (or on-board device), but there is no general
way to get from bus/device numbers to slot numbers. You can learn the
mapping for your particular system by experimentation; also, the ACPI
information present on newer Intel-based systems can contain such a
mapping table.
