[Devel] suspend/resume instead of stop/start from vz init script

Hi,

Is there any logical reason why to not dump/restore a container when 
issuing a "service vz stop|start" command?  Iy would make sense that it 
would be much quicker as no longer do we have hundreds of processes 
across the containers starting up.  The other benefit is that the VPS's 
do not even see a reboot and maintain their "uptime" as the uptime 
command reports.

Perhaps there could be an option in /etc/vz/vz.conf whether to do the 
dump/restore or stop/start variations.

I'm open for arguments on why this is a bad idea.

Thanks,
Matt
