[PATCH] swsusp: don't require bigsmp 

Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more
then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH
or X86_BIGSMP to handle.

Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming
up.  [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 ..
 255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs
max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled.

It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies
of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug
code for i386.

Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using
the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.

In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance.

We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again.
