I mean not just the mapping.
I mean PCI:PME_SUP field. If it PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+), and
acpi trying to avoid D3 states for this device. then is is same like
PME(D0+,D1-,D2-)? Or not?

According to spec.:
7.2 Device Power Management Objects (page 287)
_S3D - Highest D-state supported by the device in the S3 state
_S3W - Lowest D-state supported by the device in the S3 state which can
wake the system.
by definition if _S3W is specified then we can assume, the device can
wake? But _SxW is not defined.

Are there any other method to forbid the system use broken state, after
device was actually produced? Usual BIOS flash utility will probably no
rewrite the PCIs EEPROM. Only hope is ACPI, what is correct method to do
define it by ACPI?
