Let's not do that (I remember when we were triggering network restart
from netvsc and it was a lot of pain).
Receiving hybernation request from the host is similar to pushing power
button on your desktop: an ACPI event is going to be generated and your
userspace will somehow react to it. I see two options:
1) We try to hook up some existing userspace (udev?)
2) We write a new hyperv-daemon handling the request (with a config file
instead of hardcoding please).
