Makes sense. I'll wait for the prerequisite patch (i.e. the patch that implements hv_is_hibernation_supported(), https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/5/1160 ) to be in upstream first, then I'll be able to get rid of the below "if 0" and post a v2 with your Acked-by. Thanks, David! +#if 0 + /* + * The patch to implement hv_is_hibernation_supported() is going + * through the tip tree.
