Sorry to hijack such an old thread. Looking into these features, I was 
just wondering if it was possible to:

   1) Disable the support for pause / suspend altogether and not allow 
anyone to place instances in such states?

   2) Change the storage location of the saved guest RAM to a shared 
storage to allow the instance to be migrated while being 
suspended/paused. As far as I can see currently this data is saved on 
the host disk.
