I think this has something to do with the HP SMBIOS entries.

Incidentally it looks like there is a BIOS bug as Type 9 Slot structures all point to 0000:00:00.0 (an actual device) not ffff:ff:1f.7 for an inactive device.

Type 209 lists:
 NIC 1: PCI device 04:00.0, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:00
 NIC 2: PCI device 04:00.1, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:02
 NIC 3: PCI device 04:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:08
 NIC 4: PCI device 04:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0A
 NIC 5: PCI device 04:00.4, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:18
 NIC 6: PCI device 04:00.5, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:1C
 NIC 7: PCI device 04:00.6, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:19
 NIC 8: PCI device 04:00.7, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:1D
 NIC 9: PCI device 05:00.0, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:04
 NIC 10: PCI device 05:00.1, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:06
 NIC 11: PCI device 05:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0C
 NIC 12: PCI device 05:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0E
 NIC 13: PCI device 05:00.4, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:20
 NIC 14: PCI device 05:00.5, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:24
 NIC 15: PCI device 05:00.6, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:21
 NIC 16: PCI device 05:00.7, MAC address B4:99:BA:A6:B9:25

type 221 lists:
 NIC 1: PCI device 04:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:08
 NIC 2: PCI device 04:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0A
 NIC 3: PCI device 05:00.2, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0C
 NIC 4: PCI device 05:00.3, MAC address 00:17:A4:77:3C:0E

smbios is using both 209/221 so it is assigning index
3/1 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:08
4/2 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0a
11/3 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0c
12/4 to 00:17:a4:77:3c:0e

Not sure why the others are getting renumbered in the process though
