Just a reminder: before you guys go and wander off into the woods of hypothetical with this, please make sure this use case is relevant enough for the trouble. The only real reason given so far AFAICT was RAS and to be able to offline BSP in order to prolong system life before maintenance.
When you take it down for maintenance eventually, you don't need to suspend but simply poweroff.
