BTW: after Connors' recent hints I now have in my blade 2500:

ppb0 at pci1 dev 2 function 0: Pericom Semiconductors PI7C9X111SL PCIe to PCI Reverse Bridge (rev. 0x02)
ppb0: PCI Express capability version 1 <PCI/PCI-X to PCI-E Bridge> x1 @ 2.5GT/s
pci2 at ppb0 bus 1
pci2: i/o space, memory space enabled
