The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't work well on Thomas' system. Since the problem has been introduced by commit 94985134b7b46848267ed6b734320db01c974e72 (swsusp: disable nonboot CPUs before entering platform suspend), I think it's better to revert this commit and remove the the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() (appended is a patch that removes the WARN_ON()). Greetings, Rafael --- Remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't seem to occur in practice.
