Table 12-5 through Table 12-8 show example device paths for the PCI Root Bridges in a server
system with four PCI Root Bridges. Each of these device paths consists of an ACPI Device Path
Node, and a Device Path End Structure. The _HID and _UID must match the ACPI table
description of the PCI Root Bridges. The only difference between each of these device paths is the
_UID field. The shorthand notation for these four device paths is ACPI(PNP0A03,0),
ACPI(PNP0A03,1), ACPI(PNP0A03,2), and ACPI(PNP0A03,3).
