git://github.com/jljusten/edk2.git ovmf-s3-v4

For testing S3, I've been doing this:
OvmfPkg/build.sh qemu -enable-kvm \
  -debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402 \
  -cdrom ~/ISO/archlinux-2013.12.01-dual.iso \
  -m 512 -vga qxl

At the bash prompt I run:
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

Laszlo already pointed out some key issues for Xen with S3, so you
might want to wait until I try to fix those in v5.
