System supend still works fine on systems with big cores only:

    R-Car H3 ES1.0 (4xCA57 (4xCA53 disabled in firmware))
    R-Car M3-N (2xCA57)

Reverting this commit fixes the issue for me.
I can't find anything that relates to system suspend in these patches
unless they are messing with something during CPU hot plug-in back
during resume.
It's only the last patch that introduces the breakage.
As specified in the commit log, it won't change any behavior for DT
systems if it's non-NUMA or single node system. So I am still wondering
what could trigger this regression.
I wonder if we're somehow giving an uninitialised/invalid NUMA configuration
to the scheduler, although I can't see how this would happen.

Geert -- if you enable CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS=y and apply the diff below
do you see anything shouting in dmesg?
Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't help.
I added some debug code to print cpumask, but so far I don't see anything
suspicious.
Damn, sorry for wasting your time. For the record, Catalin's been seeing
boot failures under KVM on a non-big/LITTLE machine that bisect reliably
to this patch, but we've also not been able to explain them. Worse, adding
so much as a printk makes the problem disappear.
