Class Code & Capability ID Extraction This ECN extracts the Class Code definitions from Appendix D and the Capability ID definitions from Appendix H, for consolidation into a new standalone document that’s easier to maintain. The new document will also consolidate Extended Capability definitions from the PCIe Base spec and various other PCIe specs.	3.x	ECN	April 28, 2010
PCIe Device Labeling under Operating Systems This ECR proposes a mechanism (new extension to _DSM) to make the device names/labels under Operating Systems deterministic. Currently, there is no well defined mechanism to consistently associate platform specific device names and instances of a device type under operating system. As a result, instance labels for specific device types under various operating systems (ex: ethx label for networking device instance under Linux OS) do not always map into the platform designated device labels. Additionally, the instance labels can change based on the system configuration. For example, under Linux operating systems, the “eth0” label does not necessarily map to the first embedded networking device as designed in a given platform. Depending on the hardware bus topology, current configuration including the number and type of networking adapters installed, the eth0 label assignment could change in a given platform.	3.x	ECN	March 28, 2010
ACPI Additions for ASPM, OBFF, LTR ECNs A number of PCIe base specifications ECNs have been approved that require software support. In some cases, platform firmware needs to know if the OS running supports certain features, or the OS needs to be able to request control of certain features from platform firmware. In other cases, the OS needs to know information about the platform that cannot be discovered through PCI enumeration, and ACPI must be used to supply the additional information.	3.x	ECN	February 1, 2010
Update DMTF SM CLP Specification References This update references to sections in the DMTF Server Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) Specification (DSP0214) to match the most recent version SM CLP Specification (v1.0.2).
