Merge branch 's3-for-3.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amit/virtio-console

Pull virtio S3 support patches from Amit Shah:
 "Turns out S3 is not different from S4 for virtio devices: the device
  is assumed to be reset, so the host and guest state are to be assumed
  to be out of sync upon resume.  We handle the S4 case with exactly the
  same scenario, so just point the suspend/resume routines to the
  freeze/restore ones.

  Once that is done, we also use the PM API's macro to initialise the
  sleep functions.

  A couple of cleanups are included: there's no need for special thaw
  processing in the balloon driver, so that's addressed in patches 1 and
  2.

  Testing: both S3 and S4 support have been tested using these patches
  using a similar method used earlier during S4 patch development: a
  guest is started with virtio-blk as the only disk, a virtio network
  card, a virtio-serial port and a virtio balloon device.  Ping from
  guest to host, dd /dev/zero to a file on the disk, and IO from the
  host on the virtio-serial port, all at once, while exercising S4 and
  S3 (separately) were tested.  They all continue to work fine after
  resume.  virtio balloon values too were tested by inflating and
  deflating the balloon."

Pulling from Amit, since Rusty is off getting married (and presumably
shaving people).
