Remove all the vqs on hibernation and re-create them after restoring
from a hibernated image.  This keeps networking working across
hibernation.

I'm guessing we need to do something like netif_device_detach here,
otherwise guest might be in the process of using the vq for transmit at
this point.
Done.

I think we also must make sure NAPI RX handler is not in progress.
How to do that?  napi_disable() / napi_enable() doesn't seem right
(and it doesn't work, too).  pci_disable_device() in the suspend
routine may work?

We also might need to mask interrupts from the device
to prevent TX or RX from getting rescheduled?
pci_disable_device() will help this too, right?

No, why would it help?
