The rationale is that after suspend the CPU has to be reinitialized. That is because it is essentially like a reboot. All the previous CPU state is gone.
It doesn't need to touch state in memory only -- if you want you could create a new annotation for functions that only touch memory; but I'm not sure it would buy all that much.
