IMHO not required:
config SOFTWARE_SUSPEND
bool "Software Suspend (Hibernation)"
depends on PM && SWAP

This would give you "trying to assign nonexistent symbol SUSPEND_POSSIBLE"
kconfig warnings on architectures without SUSPEND_POSSIBLE.

Patch below.

<-- snip -->
An implementation detail of the suspend code that is not intuitive for
the user is the HOTPLUG_CPU dependency of SOFTWARE_SUSPEND if SMP.
This patch handles the dependency of SOFTWARE_SUSPEND on HOTPLUG_CPU
automatically without the user requiring to know about it.
Thanks to Stefan Richter and Linus Torvalds for valuable feedback.
