It seems Chris and I basically have identical setups, so I'll answer.

There are 20 SPLC methods in the BIOS. The first reads
    Method (SPLC, 0, Serialized)
    {
        DerefOf (SPLX [One]) [Zero] = DOM1 /* \DOM1 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [One]) [One] = LIM1 /* \LIM1 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [One]) [0x02] = TIM1 /* \TIM1 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x02]) [Zero] = DOM2 /* \DOM2 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x02]) [One] = LIM2 /* \LIM2 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x02]) [0x02] = TIM2 /* \TIM2 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x03]) [Zero] = DOM3 /* \DOM3 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x03]) [One] = LIM3 /* \LIM3 */
        DerefOf (SPLX [0x03]) [0x02] = TIM3 /* \TIM3 */
        Return (SPLX) /* \_SB_.PCI0.RP01.PXSX.SPLX */
    }

The only difference is in the last comment. Ie, RP01 is increased until
it reaches RP20. (The machine has 20 PCI devices according to lspci. I
have no clue how to match that RPxx number to the 20 devices showing up
in lspci, sorry.)
