Well, just enable CONFIG_PM_SLEEP_SMP then - it'll be far better than
trying to implement something in the ARM code, especially as sysrq can
be used for poweroff/reboot etc (which will run from atomic contexts
where you can't switch to another CPU.)

What you're asking for will make these callbacks fragile for other
platforms.
