a new feature bit: VIRTIO_F_RING_SUSPEND_RESET. If this feature bit
has been negotiated then the device allow reset a vq after SUSPEND.
This is simply a wrong semantics to build to operate individual object after its
parent object is suspended.
A device can choose to respond to a set of signals and ignore others, right?

And, This is not your admin vq based LM solution, therefore there is NO PARENT
objects.
There is parent object.
There is VQ which you propose to do SUSPEND_RESET of the parent virtio device which is already SUSPENDED.
that is why we plan to implement a new feature bit to control this behavior.

However, in next version, as MST suggested, I will forbid resetting vqs after SUSPEND.

Admin commands and vq exists in the spec because to admin work.
The admin vq series is split from its users because it is hard to do everything in one go.
I failed to process this comment, how is this related to the question?
