This patch introudces a new status bit in the device status: SUSPEND.
This SUSPEND bit can be used by the driver to suspend a device,
in order to stablize the device states and virtqueue states.
Its main use case is live migration.
I think patch 3 needs to be squashed into this one.

Thanks
Btw, it's not clear to me if driver is allowed to clear this bit.
To allow terminate a live migration process or resume from a failed live
migration,
we allow DRIVER_OK to clear SUSPEND, in patch 1.
