Thank you for your suggestion!
As far as I know, resources are created on host side and guest has no backup, 
if resources are destroyed, guest can't restore them.
Or do you mean guest driver need to send commands to re-create resources after 
resume?
If so, I have some questions. Can guest re-create resources by using 
object(virtio_vpu_object) or others? Can the new resources replace the 
destroyed resources to continue the suspended display tasks after resume? I 
think those will help me improve my implementation, thank you!
