I'm not reviewing 1, 2, or 4(as Dan said, there's still some churn on
the qemu side), but I can review this one and 5 for accuracy, assuming
you make the agreed name changes.

This is _not_ an OR'd set, but a linear list.  I'd say:

@target: a value from virNodeSuspendTarget

> + * @duration: currently unused, pass 0

I'd still document this for its intended purpose:

@duration: duration in seconds to suspend, or 0 for indefinite

as well as a disclaimer in the rest of the text stating that some
hypervisors require 0 for @duration.

> + * @flags: ditto

Rather than abbreviating with "ditto", I'd copy and paste one of the
other lines where we say things are unused, pass 0.

That didn't read well.  I'd say something like:

Attempt to have the guest enter the given @target power management
suspension level.  If @duration is non-zero, also schedule the guest to
resume normal operation after that many seconds, if nothing else has
resumed it earlier.  Some hypervisors require that @duration be 0, for
an indefinite suspension.

Looks like you get to rebase on top of other API added today.
