Why does a 2-socket server show PCIe locations but the 4-socket server does not (how can I find the PCIe locations on the 4-socket server)?

I have two servers: - 2 socket Supermicro X9DBL-3F - 4 socket Supermicro X10QBI When I run hwloc-ls for the 2-socket server I see the PCIe topology with the HostBridges on each NUMANode, but the 4-socket server shows Packages instead of NUMANodes and all of the HostBridges are listed at the bottom. In addition, lscpu shows 2 NUMA nodes on the 2-socket but only 1 NUMA node on the 4-socket server. How can I discern which PCIe device is attached to which socket on the 4-socket server? When I run hwloc-ls on the 2-socket server I get the following:

  NUMANode L#0 (P#0 31GB)
    Package L#0 + L3 L#0 (20MB)
