Why exactly would this be better than just making domain's
unsuspendable?

All it would take is some hypervisor plumbing...

Better? I don't know, I hold judgment as to whether or not domains
should be made unsuspendable, I just offer to add an option.
If there is no other need for domain suspension, it can replace the old
suspend. 

About the hypervisor plumbing issue, isn't it just a matter of going
over all the smaller suspend functions the main suspend function calls
and make the changes there? Making sure nothing else gets suspended, 
and changing the code that goes over the drivers and handles the
callbacks.
So far, I haven't seen anything that would indicate it would entail
changes
in the far reaches of hypervisor space...

Then again... am I wrong?
