Thanks!

With regard to my lspci changes, they add "Slot-" here:

   01:0a.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom Corporation Device 9039
   ...
  -   Capabilities: [40] Express (v2) PCI/PCI-X to PCI-Express Bridge, MSI 00
  +   Capabilities: [40] Express (v2) PCI/PCI-X to PCI-Express Bridge (Slot-), MSI 00

for all your PCI-to-PCIe bridges.  I assume the "Slot-" is correct, i.e.,
the link is not connected to a slot, right?  This comes from the "Slot
Implemented" bit in the PCIe Capabilities Register.

I did notice that all the Root Port devices claim to *not* be connected to
slots, which doesn't seem right.  For example,

  12:00.0 PCI bridge: Broadcom Corporation Device 9084
      Bus: primary=12, secondary=13, subordinate=14, sec-latency=0
      Capabilities: [ac] Express (v2) Root Port (Slot-), MSI 00

  13:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599EB 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection

It seems strange because the 12:00.0 Root Port looks like it probably
*does* lead to a slot where the NIC is plugged in.  Or is that NIC really
soldered down?

But I assume there are *some* PCIe slots, so at some of those Root Ports
should advertise "Slot+" (which by itself does not imply hotplug support,
if that's the concern).
