I think pause/unpause still makes sense. Obviously a paused and s3suspended
guest will not run again until both s3 resumed and unpaused. As for
suspend/resume, that should also just work I think? Isn't the point to be
able to s3-suspend then save then restore then s3-resume?

I don't really care to have is_s3_suspended visible via dominfo. Leave it
hidden if you like. Xend should be able to remember whether it s3-suspended
a domain, if it needs to. Or we can expose it via an interface other than
dominfo. We could, for example, make it an HVM_PARAM. Then you can
enter/leave/interrogate s3suspend state via the existing hvm_op param
interfaces.
