You might indeed be right. I guess I was thinking that "resuming from
suspend" and "resuming from a VM fork" are kind of the same thing.
There _is_ a certain kind of similarity between the two. I was hoping
if the similarity was a strong enough one, maybe it'd make sense to do
them together rather than adding another notifier. But I suppose you
disagree, and it sounds like Rafael might too --

Code-wise for me with WireGuard it's of course appealing to treat them
the same, since it's like a one line change, but if I need to add a
new notifier call there, it's not the end of the world.
