Another difference between D3Hot and D3Cold for PCI devices is config
space availability. That is, in D3Hot, you can access D3Hot, while in
D3Cold you can not do that. For example, PME poll logic need to be
disabled if we put device into D3Cold.

For PCI device plugged into system via slot (not integrated into PCH
or motherboard), there is no ACPI handle associate with it, so that
there are neither _PS3 nor _PR3 presented. But it is still possible
to turn off the device power via the associated PCIe port, which has
_PS3 and/or _PR3 presented. I think that situation is reasonable too.

How to turn the device's power resources off without _PR3? It may be
possible via PCIe port as I said above. Do you mean that? Or
something else?
