If you want to reuse `xm resume' for this you need to think about the
interactions with the existing `xm suspend' and `xm resume'.  What
combination of states are permissible, what transitions exist, and how
are they triggered ?

What if the guest is in the middle of going into one kind of suspend
when a request arrives to put it into a different kind of suspend ?
(Users often make multiple similar requests if they think the first
request isn't working.)
