Powering off rather than using S4 means you lose most wakeup device

only if the kexec isn't able to initialize those devices.

If you aren't using ACPI, you probably don't know how to.

the current kexec patch to allow you to move back to the original kernel
requires ACPI be disabled to work.

Which means it isn't putting the hardware into S4, which means that you
don't get the platform wakeup events.

Ok, I was misunderstanding what you meant by wakeup device support. if you are meaning things like wake-on-lan then yes, you do loose that with no ACPI support, but that is acceptable to many people. I understand it's not for some, and I'm not saying that this should be the only type of suspend, but I'm also saying that this should be one option.
