The _DSM methods (for the Nvidia device) are often still included and
functions are reported as supported. I guess that vendors just check
whether it is working and do not bother removing legacy functions. The
Acer case below seems exceptional.

I suggested the no_d3cold check such that DSM can still be called even
though the runtime PM on the PCIe port does nothing.

I thought that you need support from ACPI to put a device in D3cold?

My impression from the ACPI tables I have seen so far is that power
resources support is enabled for Windows 2012 (Win8) or newer.
