I think that's device 0 not slot 0 right?

I /think/ the bus that the root port itself is on is different from the
bus that the downstream device is on, so wouldn't you end up with:

bus 0, slot 0: emulated host bridge 0
bus 1, slot 0: PCIe device connected to PCIe interface 0

(and isn't that "root port" not "host bridge" in the first line above?)
