+Extending the Device Feature Header - DFHv1
+===========================================
+The current 8 bytes of the Device Feature Header, hereafter referred to as
+to DFHv0, provide very little opportunity for the hardware to describe itself
+to software. Version 1 of the Device Feature Header (DFHv1) is being introduced
+to provide increased flexibility and extensibility to hardware designs using
+Device Feature Lists. The list below describes some of the goals behind the
+changes in DFHv1:
+
+* Provide a standardized mechanism for features to describe
+ parameters/capabilities to software.
+* Standardize the use of a GUID for all DFHv1 types.
+* Decouple the location of the DFH from the register space of the feature itself.
+
+Modeled after PCI Capabilities, DFHv1 Parameters provide a mechanism to associate
+a list of parameter values to a particular feature.
+
+With DFHv0, not all features types contained a GUID. DFHv1 makes the GUID standard
+across all types.
+
+With DFHv0, the register map of a given feature is located immediately following
+the DFHv0 in the memory space. With DFHv1, the location of the feature register
+map can be specified as an offset to the DFHv1 or as an absolute address. The DFHv1
+structure is shown below:
