No no no.  The proper fix will have suspend "just working", whether or 
not a virtual machine is running or not.  When you resume, the virtual 
machines continue running as if nothing had happened.

I posted a patchset which does just that, when the F kernel integrates 
it (through inclusion of 2.6.23 or by patching the current kernel), 
Fedora will be able to suspend/resume just fine.

If you start a virtual machine outside libvirt's knowledge, it won't 
pick it up.  You also need to enable the libvirtd service (or however it 
is called).
