Should there then be a CONFIG_FREQUENT_SUSPENDS ?

That is, if you have system where you know that there will be a lot of
frequent suspends coming from user space, then you would enable it.

I agree, calling this ANDROID is not related to the functionality change.
But if there was a config that was related, would that be acceptable?

Then it would not just be Android that could enabled this change, but any
other system that is doing frequent suspends?
