With patches 1 to 6 (including) applied and no extra cmdline params 
added the resume doesn't work.

No, sorry. I know it'd help with getting logs, and I do have a 
serial-to-USB cable that I use for another machine, but in this one the 
port is not routed to outside. I think I can put a header there as the 
motherboard does have pins, but I'd have to buy one first. In theory, I 
can do that, but that won't happen within the next few weeks.

P.S. Piotr Gorski (in Cc) also reported this: "My friend from CachyOS 
can confirm bugs with smpboot patches. AMD FX 6300 only shows 1 core 
when using smp boot patchset". Probably, he can reply to this thread and 
provide more details.
