Yes.  That's correct.

The number reported at the beginning of the line in lspci output is,
indeed, NOT the PCI ID as I initially, in my haste to be helpful,
stated, but rather is the bus ID in the format
[domain:]bus:device.function.  The numeric PDI ID is, instead, the value
you see in square brackets near the end of verbose (but not default)
program output.

And, wow, that's so entirely beside the point.

I could have spent twice as long and researched every damned little
detail (e.g., re-reading the manpage thoroughly) before posting, but I
didn't, as I have only so much time I can justify spending on such
things.

Daniel, this is the second time in a row you've been extremely picky
about fine details of postings where I'm working to help people, in
situations where you've not lifted a finger at all.  Does this seem
entirely right to you?  Because, to me, it seems quite unhelpful and a
disincentive for me to bother helping people.  If that is your
intention, then well done.  If that is _not_ your intention, kindly
reassess your attitude.  Thank you.
