The symbolic link points to the PCI device sysfs entry of the

+Description:
+ When the appropriate driver is loaded, it will create a
+ directory per claimed physical PCI slot in
+ /sys/bus/pci/slots/. The names of these directories are
+ specific to the driver, which in turn, are specific to the
+ platform, but in general, should match the label on the
+ machine's physical chassis.
+
+ The drivers that can create slot directories include the
+ PCI hotplug drivers, and as of 2.6.27, the pci_slot driver.
+
+ The slot directories contain, at a minimum, a file named
+ 'address' which contains the PCI bus:device:function tuple.
+ Other files may appear as well, but are specific to the
+ driver.

+ If PCI slot directories (as described above) are created,
