I obviously cannot reproduce :/ Both cpu-hotplug and suspend works just
fine on my test boxes. I even tried my thinkpad (x240) and that too goes
to sleep and wakes up just fine.

What .config do you have? And what, if anything do you see on the
console when it goes funny?

I think you wrote that hot-un-plug never completes? Is there anything in
dmesg when it's stuck in:

  echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

?
