Correct. All HVM PV drivers must support suspend cancellation (i.e.,
resume). And without PV drivers, resume is as simple as just continuing
execution of the guest from where it left off!

A weird state. My guess is your qemu-dm is not resumable. It used to
consider suspend to be a one-way trip, and kill itself. That's been fixed
quite a long while, but did it work back in 3.1.x? I'm not sure.
Anyway, qemu-dm is where I suggest you investigate first. The guest is most
likely hanging waiting for work to be done by an unresponsive (or
non-existent) qemu_dm process.
