I don't think OMAP needs to push cpu_suspend/resume calls out into SRAM
at all... see the mail I just sent prior to this.

No, because it needs to call CPU specific functions itself, which can't
be relocated.  I don't see why OMAP needs any of that complexity anyway,
and so its pure overengineering.
