uml_mconsole <the umid of the instance>

To suspend a UML instance, at the prompt use "stop" and "go". I'm not at all 
sure you can gdb the UML instance meanwhile... but especially it will suspend 
any I/O you can do, and I think every process inside the UML instance, 
including gdb.

Maybe, Nigel Cunningham, the developer of Swsusp 2 come by sometimes on this 
list.

For swsusp, I don't know at all what would be needed.
In the archives there was also an announce for a separate project for UML only 
to implement suspending in a UML-specific way (it was meaningful, but I don't 
remember about it, even because they wanted to run their own mainling list).
