Yes.

Yes.  You are right.

In most cases, I think it is OK to put device into D3_cold if that is
supported.  But there should be some special case where D3_cold is not
desirable, for example, we can put SSD into D3_cold safely, but it is
not quite safe to put HDD into D3_cold.  So we want to introduce a
flag: "may_power_off" like in the following patch

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/29/41

It gives device driver a chance to prevent the device to be put into D3_cold.

Yes.  Support both remote wakeup and host wakeup.
