The _DSM method with 0 as index parameter should return a bit field
telling which functions are supported. Sane BIOS disables that
particular function if it detects Windows 8 and newer. Have you checked
if that's the case?

Then you can call _DSM only if it is supported and otherwise expect the
parent device's power resources to turn off power when runtime
suspended.

Using BIOS year works even if there is no ACPI available.

What comes to the cutoff date, I discussed with Rafael and it was
decided that we use the same year Windows 10 was released to be on the
safe side. Reading the links you provided here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh967709(v=vs.85).aspx

it seems that from Windows 8 they started transitioning devices into
D3cold during runtime as well.
