I understand the needs of swsusp, but no one took away CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU away... 
just that you need to also enable CONFIG_GENERICARCH to get it to work reliably, and
not see that printk... nothing else..

Iam still confused why you think swsusp wont work...

with that patch, try

CONFIG_X86_PC=n
CONFIG_GENERICARCH=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
...

<whatever swssusp needs>=y

and see if thinks work out for you?
