No, D3_HOT is introduced in ACPI spec 4.0.
According to the spec, _PR3 is used for devices that support both
D3(D3_COLD) and D3HOT.

The confusion here is that Linux D3 equals ACPICA D3HOT and Linux
D3_COLD equals ACPICA D3.
For example, when enter Linux ACPI D3, the reference count of ACPI Power
Resources in _PR3 is increased by one.

Agreed.

I'm not sure. I thought I had seen ACPI Power Resources without _OFF
control method somewhere in bugzilla, but I can not find it out now.

Hmm, how about set D3_COLD support if _PR3 exists, but leave a warning
message if _OFF doesn't exist, for now?
