[vfio-users] Resume a suspended/sleeping guest from the guest side

I thought libvirt disables S3 acpi state purely for memory reallocation
reasons. Strange...

If you're using USB passthrough rather than assignment, have you thought
about monitoring /dev/input on the host and translating that into virsh
wakeup calls?  A suspended VM doesn't have hardware running to wake it
from sleep like a real physical system does.  What benefit are you
hoping to achieve by suspending the VM?  This is not really a vfio-users
question unless you want to talk about how a vfio assigned device could
wake a VM, but I don't have an answer for you there either.
