Bug Description

[Impact]

Suspend/Resume capability is broken in all noble images with kernel version 6.8.0-1007-gcp.

GCE offers the capability to "Suspend" a VM to conserve power/lower costs when the instance is not in use [0]. It uses ACPI S3 signals to tell the guest to power down. This capability no longer works in the latest kernel with the following error:

```
Operation type [suspend] failed with message "Instance suspend failed due to guest timeout."
```

which points to the following [1].
