This is for hibernation is for pvhvm/hvm/pv-on-hvm guests as you may call it.
The method is just there to check if "xen suspend" is in progress.
I do not see "xen_suspend" differentiating between pv or hvm
domain until later in the code hence, I abstracted it to xen_is_xen_suspend.

The mode was left there in case its needed for restore prepare cases. But you
are right the only thing I currently care about whether shutting_down ==
SHUTDOWN_SUSPEND. Infact, the notifier may not be needed in first place.
xen_is_xen_suspend could work right off the bat using 'shutting_down' variable
itself. *I think so* I will test it on my end and send an updated patch.

It would be great to support that however, its out of
scope for this patch set.
I’ll be happy to discuss it separately.

That's another good use case to make it work with however, I still
think that should be tested/worked upon separately as the feature itself
(PVH Dom0) is very new.
