I don't believe that there is any physical slot number information that 
you can obtain in software, and logical bus IDs don't always map to 
physical slots in a reasonable way. Have you tried lspci -vv? It gives you 
a lot more information about the PCI configuration. You may also find 
lspci -t useful - it'll tell you which devices are hanging off of which 
PCI bridges.
