I was looking into something similar to this for Kirkwood - my
interest was in getting kexec to work, which means it needs to call
the hibernation callbacks in the drivers prior to execing, otherwise
there is a fairly high chance DMA will corrupt the kexec target.

So this means the code needs the suspend support, however Kirkwood
doesn't have any support for ARM_CPU_SUSPEND, which blocks enabling
suspend at all for that platform. I was looking at moving the 'depends
on CPU_..' from ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE to ARM_CPU_SUSPEND, which seemed
to do the trick for kirkwood but I didn't study every possibility..
