I noticed your series, but I am not sure they are also meet my needs.
If driver write 0 to reset device, can the SUSPEND bit be cleared?
(pci_pm_resume->virtio_pci_restore->virtio_device_restore->virtio_reset_device)
If SUSPEND is cleared, then during the reset process in Qemu, I can't judge if
the reset request is from guest restore process or not, and then I can't change
the reset behavior.
Can you send me your patch link on kernel and qemu side? I will take a deep
look.
