Standard pm-utils in Linux supports three ways to suspend these
days, suspend, hibernate & suspend-hybrid. libvirt supports
all 3 modes in our recently added API for suspending the physical
host, so I think we'll want to also have all 3 for suspending
guests too.
[quote pm-suspend(8)]
pm-suspend
During suspend most devices are shutdown, and
system state is saved in RAM. The system still
requires power in this state. Most modern systems
require 3 to 5 seconds to enter and leave suspend,
and most laptops can stay in suspend mode for 1 to
3 days before exhausting their battery.
pm-hibernate
During hibernate the system is fully powered off,
and system state is saved to disk. The system does
not require power, and can stay in hibernate mode
indefinitely. Most modern systems require 15 to 45
seconds to enter and leave hibernate, and entering
and leaving hibernate takes longer when you have
more memory.
pm-suspend-hybrid
Hybrid-suspend is the process where the system does
everything it needs to hibernate, but suspends
instead of shutting down. This means that your
computer can wake up quicker than for normal
hibernation if you do not run out of power, and you
can resume even if you run out of power. s2both(8)
is an hybrid-suspend implementation.

Here you'd just add pm-suspend-hybrid too
