A potential alternative came up in an off-list discussion: Would it be
better to hard code the information in the quirk workaround than look it
up from a repurposed ACPI resource?

Supporting quirk workarounds for early, non-compliant hardware is
helpful and perhaps necessary for bootstrapping the ecosystem in a
timely manner. But we don't really want to provide an expandable or
reusable interface that would make it easy for new hardware to remain
non-compliant.
