Thanks for catching these items!  I created the wiki page rather quickly 
yesterday - I have a few errors on it.

Yes, I missed this one.  It's on the wiki page now.

This directory is used for the VirtualSystemSettingDataComponent class. 
  The VirtualSystemSettingDataComponent class originally said 
VirtualSystemSnapshotServiceCapabilities, which is a typo.

The wiki is updated with the proper class.

ConcreteComponent - this is shown in the diagram on page 10 in DSP1059 
(GDRVP).  It's also mentioned in DSP1042 (SVP) and DSP1041 
(ResourceAllocationProfile).  We don't advertise DSP1041, although we 
probably should.  The class is discussed in detail in DSP1041.

DiskPool - this is a subclass of ResourcePool.  ResourcePool is 
mentioned in DSP1059, DSP1042, and DSP1041.

DisplayController - this is a subclass of LogicalDevice.  LogicalDevice 
is in the diagram on page 10 in DSP1059.  It's also mentioned in DSP1042 
  and DSP1041.  The class is discussed in detail in DSP1041.

ElementAllocatedFromPool - is in the diagram on page 10 in DSP1059. 
It's also mentioned in DSP1042  and DSP1041.  The class is discussed in 
detail in DSP1041.

Two things should probably be done:
  1) Update the RegisteredProfile provider to include DSP1041.
  2) Update the wiki to include which profiles the class is mentioned in 
and which profile describes the class in detail

For these, this is a similar issue - these classes are referenced in 
multiple profiles. I'll see if I can fix this up today so that the table 
is a little more clear.
