Right, that's what I do in v2, which I haven't posted yet.

Well on the other hand PM-callbacks are harmless on those archs, they
won't overload the __weak function.

Sure, I can take a look into this, but how is this better than __weak
function? (that's a real question)

For different states we can have different kvm_arch functions instead.
kvm_arch_pm_notifier() can be renamed to kvm_arch_suspend_notifier(),
so that we don't need to have `switch (state)` in every arch-code. Then
for resume/post resume states we can have kvm_arch_resume_notifier()
arch functions.

Nothing magical here. I want this to be executed first, before we suspend
ftrace, RCU and the like. Besides KVM is usually the last one to register
its PM callbacks, so there can be something on the notifier list that
returns NOTIFY_STOP_MASK in front of KVM PM-notifier list entry.
