This is not the way I understand D3_cold in ACPI.

Namely, _PR3 lists power resources that are supposed to be "on"
in D3, which means that in that state the device is not completely
off, so this must be D3_hot and _not_ D3_cold.

So. _PR3 means D3_hot is supported.  D3_cold, on the other hand,
is always supported, although it may not be accessible through any
direct software action (for example, it may be necessary to power
a bus to put devices on it into D3_cold).

Thanks,
Rafael
