Table 12-9 shows an example device path for a PCI Root Bridge using an Expanded ACPI Device
Path. This device path consists of an Expanded ACPI Device Path Node, and a Device Path End
Structure. The _UID and _CID fields must match the ACPI table description of the PCI Root
Bridge. For a system with only one PCI Root Bridge, the _UID value is usually 0x0000. The
shorthand notation for this device path is ACPI(12345678,0,PNP0A03).
