S3 support in linux was rather unreliable (that's the reason why RHEL
disables it downstream even for x86), it might be even more so for
LoongArch machines.

The best approach would be to find the actual reason why your guest
freezes in KVM mode. (it might be be a bug on qemu/kvm side or
a guest bug that needs fixing)
