My bad taste sensor reports: "Out of effective range"

Why on earth can't you fix the wreckage exactly where it happens,
i.e. in x86_acpi_suspend_lowlevel() ?

That's too bloody obvious, too self explaining, not enough duplicated
code and does not need any fixups when the smpboot_control bits are
changed later, right?
