All the non-Apple Thunderbolt products before "HotPlugSupportInD3" use ACPI "assisted" hotplug which means all the PM is done in the BIOS. Essentially it means the controller is only present if there is anything connected and in that case it is always in D0. Unplugging the device makes the controller to be hot-removed (ACPI hotplug) too and that's the only way early Thunderbolt used to save energy.
