Hi, I've created the patches of experimental implementation based on discussion so far.
http://people.freebsd.org/~iwasaki/acpi/cpustop_hook-20120606.diff In acpi_wakeup.c, cpususpend_handler() and susppcbs are replaced with cpustop_handler() and stoppcbs. This is for RELENG_9 and only for i386 but I think it's enough for the start.

The only nit is that CPU_SET_ATOMIC(cpu, &stopped_cpus) could be part of > the wait loop prologue. No need to duplicate it in each hook. OK, I did so. I hope the patch is not far from your idea.
