One addition:
If the CSR contains 0, software should assume there is no configuration structure.

Agreed.
 
I'd also like to require the pointer be 4-byte aligned, meaning software should ignore the low 2 bits. This will give us 2 extra bits should we need them in the future.

That's OK.  The extension would then define the low two bits as "00" and as "Reserved for future standard use".
