"in slot" is used here, because usually integrated PCIe devices has
ACPI node and method attached with them while that is not the case for
PCIe devices in slot.  I will make it more clear with something as
follow:

Some PCIe devices have not direct platform support (such as ACPI node
and method) to be powered on/off.  But they may be powered on/off by
the corresponding PCIe port.

Yes.  Will change this.

Yes.  I think blacklist may be better.
