FWIW, there's also a Vendor-Specific Capability that can appear in the
first 256 bytes of config space (the Vendor-Specific Extended
Capability must appear in the "Extended Configuration Space" from
0x100-0xfff).

I'm not aware of a restriction on when _DSM can be evaluated.  I'm
looking at ACPI v6.3, sec 9.1.1.  Are you seeing something different?

Neither the PCI Vendor-Specific Capability nor the ACPI _DSM requires
a spec change.  Both can be completely vendor-defined.
