The qmp/hmp command 'system_wakeup' is simply a direct call to
'qemu_system_wakeup_request' from vl.c. This function verifies if
runstate is SUSPENDED and if the wake up reason is valid before
proceeding.
However, no error or warning is thrown if any of those
pre-requirements isn't met. There is no way for the caller to
differentiate between a successful wakeup or an error state caused
when trying to wake up a guest that wasn't suspended. Silent
failures should be interpreted as bugs and there is no API break
in fixing this behavior - applications that didn't check the result
will remain broken, the ones that check will have a chance to deal
with it.
This patch changes qmp_system_wakeup to make the runstate verification
before proceeding to call qemu_system_wakeup_request, firing up
an error message if the user tries to wake up a machine that
isn't in SUSPENDED state. The change isn't made inside
qemu_system_wakeup_request because it is used in migration,
ACPI and others where this usage might be valid.
