Does this imply that current ACPI doesn't handle this part?

The Windows approach is to make the entire hierarchy stays at D0, I
think maybe it's a better way than relying on PME polling.

The PME works, what vendor said is that enabling PME makes the system
"unstable".

 This is not an viable option, and we have to consider that BIOS from
different vendors can exhibit the same behavior.

I really don't see other way because non-granted PME is a system-wide thing...

How do I know that firmware failed to enable PME IRQ?

And let me see how to make pci_dev_check_d3cold() work for this case.

This won't scale, because many models are affected.
