So this isn't supporting suspend/resume if AP cannot started again?

Yes. You are correct. It can be used only once per AP. Please find the
spec reference below.

/*
* According to the ACPI specification r6.4, sec 5.2.12.19, the
* mailbox-based wakeup mechanism cannot be used more than once
* for the same CPU, so skip sending wake commands to already
* awake CPU.
