The Qualcomm SoCs like LeMans, Monaco support suspend to ram which leads

And you fail to explain why they have that constraint.

Is it because some secure context is not allowed to migrate ?

We already have a mechanism for that in place and this hack is not at all
required.
Do you mean a mechanism for the secure context or for preventing CPU0 ?

Can you clarify ?
