No, it tells you about a memory-mapped region you can use for all PCI config
access.  The region is defined to give the full config space access per
device (so the lower N bits in the address are used to address a given config
register within a single device).  This macro details how the address mapping
works:

#define PCIE_VADDR(base, reg, bus, slot, func)	\
	((base)				+	\
	((((bus) & 0xff) << 20)		|	\
	(((slot) & 0x1f) << 15)		|	\
	(((func) & 0x7) << 12)		|	\
	((reg) & 0xfff)))

So the lower 12 bits select the register and the next 16 bits specify the
device's bus/slot/function.

BSD only distinguishes in that it refuses to access registers above 0x100 if
MCFG is not in use on x86.  If MCFG is in use, it is used for all config
access (both "standard" and "extended").  See this routine for an example:

/* 
 * Write configuration space register 
 */
void
pci_cfgregwrite(int bus, int slot, int func, int reg, u_int32_t data, int bytes)
{

	if (cfgmech == CFGMECH_PCIE &&
	    (bus >= pcie_minbus && bus <= pcie_maxbus) &&
	    (bus != 0 || !(1 << slot & pcie_badslots)))
		pciereg_cfgwrite(bus, slot, func, reg, data, bytes);
	else
		pcireg_cfgwrite(bus, slot, func, reg, data, bytes);
}

If the device is on a bus managed by MCFG (pcie_minbus <= bus <= pcie_maxbus)
and it's not subject to a quirk we use for some broken HT chipsets (the
pcie_badslots that lists known "broken" slots on bus 0 for the broken
chipsets), then MCFG is used for all config access.
