I'm wondering if we're too late for one more API to round out the API we added in this release. Qemu is proposing a new monitor command system_wakeup which lets the host inject a power-button wakeup to a guest that has gone into S3 sleep. Since we added the virDomainPMSuspendForDuration command to put the guest into S3 from the host, I think we need a counterpart API that wakes the guest back up, rather than relying on mouse clicks, serial input, or timeouts doing the job for us. It's a shame that virDomainResume() has no flags argument, and that it is already tied to virDomainSuspend() (aka guest pause), so I'm thinking something like: /* Inject a wakeup into the guest that previously used * virDomainPMSuspendForDuration, rather than waiting for the * previously requested duration (if any) to elapse. */ int virDomainPMWakeup(virDomainPtr dom, unsigned int flags);
