This is possible with the new force paramter in do_switch. As stated in
that patch, the goal is to get a real context stored at the time of
initialization.

I'm missing the rationalisation for this pair of patches... For
instance, I can't see how this closes the hole we have upon resume where
ring->context_obj == DEFAULT_CONTEXT but CCID is 0.

Yeah this doesn't fix that problem. The problem this is trying to solve is suspend/resume before any context switch actually occurs. Basically jam the default context obj in, and this allows us to force restore it on resume. However, as you point out, I guess that force restore is missing. Let me think a bit more/chat on IRC.
