This need not be PCI, mind you.

Nope.  D3_HOT cannot be supported in that case at the ACPI level.

That is not D3_HOT, then, from the ACPI point of view.  It is a different
power state.

Suppose you have a non-PCI device that can be only power-manageable via ACPI
and that device has only _PS0 and _PS3.  How would you put it into D3_HOT,
in particular?
