Lingshan claimed that suspending device is for live migration in commit log and in discussion he portray it as some basic facility unrelated to device migration such as debug etc.
Instead of claiming it as some non_device_migration facility does not make sense.
It is used for migration for sure.
Well having a generic facility to stop device sounds like a nice thing.
However the devil is in the detail. A lot of detail here seems very much
tailored to a very specific implementation in mind.
So thinking through how it will work e.g. for power management
would be a good excercise to figure out how it should work in detail.
Parav did you indicate at some point a virtio specific SUSPEND
bit can be useful for PM? Could you share how it's better than
transport level PM and what the requirements are?
Thanks!
Do you mean letting the device enter a new power state when SUSPEND,
and such description in transport-pci.tex? Then resume normal
state on DRIVER_OK.
That would be one example.
OK, I will look into this.
Roughly say in transport-pci.tex: When SUSPEND, the device MAY optionally enter a
power-saving state.

Please allow me some time working on the details
