Subject[RFC][PATCH] PM: disable nonboot cpus before suspending devices
hi Rafael,

on s390 we have a reproduceable testcase where, after all devices were
suspended, a memory allocation results in disk IO. I know that this is
similar to the current discussion about magically changing the gpf mask,
but in our case the related allocation is triggered not by a device driver
but directly by hibernation_snapshot. The call chain looks like this:

23 sys_write+100 [0x23fb50]
24 sysc_noemu+16 [0x118ff6]

a possible fix would be to call disable_nonboot_cpus before suspending the
devices..
NOTE: this affects pm debug modes

Since disable_nonboot_cpus triggers memory allocations we should call
it before suspending the devices in hibernation_snapshot.
