I've seen this too on KVM; this commit caused it:

commit 75568f8094eb0333e9c2109b23cbc8b82d318a3c
Author: Alex Chiang <achiang@hp.com>
Date:   Mon Mar 8 10:24:29 2010 -0700

    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.

Some discussion happened at http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/12/259.
Alex Chiang is working on resolving this AFAIK, adding him.
