(Adding Alex Chiang to the cc list)

I was actually under the impression that it was just an
issue with the reverted patch, not an actual problem with
hardware.

In the patch, 2 individual code paths were trying to
create the same symlinks:
pci-sysfs.c:pci_create_slot_links(struct pci_dev *dev)
and
slot.c:create_sysfs_files(struct pci_slot *slot).
I think some archs managed to call those both during
initialization, and some not.

PCI: create function symlinks in /sys/bus/pci/slots/N/

Create convenience symlinks in sysfs, linking slots to device
functions, and vice versa. These links make it easier for users to
figure out which devices actually live in what slots.

For example:

sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls
1 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls -l 3
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 18 14:10 address
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:10 function0 ->
../../../../devices/pci0000:23/0000:23:01.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:10 function1 ->
../../../../devices/pci0000:23/0000:23:01.1

sapphire:/sys/bus/pci/slots # ls -l 3/function0/slot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 18 14:13 3/function0/slot ->
../../../bus/pci/slots/3

The original form of this patch was written by Matthew Wilcox,
and was enhanced to include links from the sysfs slots/ directory
pointing back at the device functions.
