Yes, if _S3D or _S3W are present.  If they are not present and _PRW is,
that means "don't care".

The device can wake up the system if _PRW is present for it (and for
PCIe devices even that is not formally necessary).

Define _S3D that will return 2 (for example) and _PRW returning 3 as the
deepest sleep state the system may be woken up from.  Then, we'll use
D2 (after the @subject patch).

The drawback is that the kernel will then think the device can wake up
the system.
