I checked in your patch as is. One question: do we need the
wait-one-second-for-shutdown loop in suspend_and_state() at all? My reading
of (*suspend)() is that it should be sure the domain is suspended when it
returns, and hence should suspend_and_state() not simply raise an error if
it finds that domaininfo does not indicate the guest is shut down? The retry
loop may simply be allowing bugs of the sort you've just fixed to linger.
