I thought the example Roman gave was clear.

System has multiple dies
Each die has 4 pmon ports
Each pmon port per die maps to one PCI bus.

He mapped it to 

pmon0-3: list of pci busses indexed by die

To be honest the approach doesn't seem unreasonable to me. It's similar
e.g. how we express lists of cpus or nodes in sysfs today.
