FYI,  resume is an integral part of migration or domain restore. I've
adjusted the test case accordingly.

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Xen guests may hang during resume after a migration or suspend.  The predominately affects HVM guests.
  
  [Test Case]
- Create a Xen guest and attempt to resume after a migration or suspend hundreds of times.
+ Create a Xen guest and attempt to migrate or save/restore (suspend/resume) hundreds of times.
  
  [Fix]
  The following upstream commits (tagged for stable) fix the hangs.
  
  "x86/xen: resume timer irqs early"
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8d5999df35314607c38fbd6bdd709e25c3a4eeab
  
  and
  
  "xen/manage: Always freeze/thaw processes when suspend/resuming"
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=61a734d305e16944b42730ef582a7171dc733321
  
  Both are clean cherry-picks.
