A better name is VHOST_VDPA_SET_STATE
State = stop/suspend
State = start/resume
Suspend/resume seems more logical, as opposed start/stop, because it more
clearly indicates that the resume (start) is from some programmed beginning (and
not first boot).

vhost-vdpa device is exposed for a VF through vp-vdpa driver to user land.
Now vp-vdpa driver will have to choose between using config register vs using AQ
to suspend/resume the device.
Why not always begin with more superior interface of AQ that address multiple of
these needs for LM case?
For LM case, more you explore, we realize that either VF relying on PF's AQ
for query/config/setup/restore makes more sense or have its own dedicated AQ.
VM's suspend/resume operation can be handled through the shadow Q.
