I just meant a single device with an ARI PCI express extended
capability, as opposed to the situation you describe (if I understand
right) where there are multiple PCIe devices involved, each in different
slots on the same switch.

This can happen if a device provides a potential for more than 8
functions, and as such "cross into" the function space of the next
"slot", in my case on a root port which physically speaking has only a
single slot, but where the device nonetheless are able to respond to and
send requests on devfn 1.x.
