[Xen-devel] hvm hibernate

["Ky Srinivasan" <ksrinivasan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With the support of S4 sleep state (hibernate) for  HVM guests,  we now have a 
situation where the guest is resuming from hibernate while the hypervisor 
assumes that it is spinning up a new guest VM. And so, if the hypervisor 
maintains any guest specific state that needs to persist across a hibernate, 
there is no way to save and restore this state. I am running into this problem 
on win2k8 guests where the Hyperv shim has to maintain guest specific state 
that needs to persist across a hibernate.
Given that we already support save/restore which is functionally equivalent to 
hibernate, do we need to support S4 sleep state? 

Regards,

K. Y
