There's no change to the way S3 was/is being done, and the state-setting is done only in the S3 PM callbacks. > So I think you're doing extra work and introducing bugs by doing so - > the default PCI bus operations should already do all you do, just do For S4, we need some driver-specific (not just virtio-specific) work to be done on the freeze/restore callbacks... > it better.

Might take a while, though. Amit
