Given that you are talking about going from 2 processors to 1 and back,
I would guess that you are not actually talking about suspend/resume,
which is a system-wide thing rather than a CPU-by-CPU thing. I am not
sure whether you are using CPU hotplug or invoking SMP alternatives once
all but one CPU is idle.

Can't say that I can tell exactly what pit you are digging for me here. ;-)

Thanx, Paul
