So, it looks to me that a KVM guest, when first defined, can have
NOSTATE, but imply offline.  Xen's notion of NOSTATE seems to imply
being online.  In my patch to domain_online() just now, I had to
account for those differences.

Perhaps something needs to change in this patch as well?  For example,
if we're in NOSTATE, we allow running virDomainReboot(), but will that
function fail if it can't do a shutdown on the domain?

What about for suspend?  I doubt libvirt will let you pause an offline
domain, so perhaps we should alter things a bit?
