This new ioctl adds support for resuming the device from userspace.
This is required when trying to restore the device in a functioning
state after it's been suspended. It is already possible to reset a
suspended device, but that means the device must be reconfigured and
all the IOMMU/IOTLB mappings must be recreated. This new operation
allows the device to be resumed without going through a full reset.
This is particularly useful when trying to perform offline migration of
a virtual machine (also known as snapshot/restore) as it allows the VMM
to resume the virtual machine back to a running state after the snapshot
is performed.
