Public bug reported:

Suspend on idle does not work with our preferred virtualization
technology of libvirt/qemu-kvm. The machine suspends, but there is no
way to make it resume. I don't know if qemu-kvm and the VM bios supports
it or if it is simply a bug in libvirt, but suspending in a VM by
default is pointless as it only gets in the way of people's work. If I
walk away from my computer, the host should suspend if I choose for it
to do so, not the VM. Suspending/resuming the host with running VMs has
worked fine for years so there should be no problem with this.
