processor.ignore_ppc=1
boot param should help for now?

While the dmesg points into passive cooling direction, I have the feeling it's
BIOS frequency limitation.

There was some discussion recently about ppc.
It looks like this commit in linux-2.6-tip:
244b66ac1fbbe25262a9bcc28179e50930290de8
which makes that _PPC is always read at processor init time again could cause
this. There hasn't changed much in this area otherwise.

But the patch is not in mainline Linus tree yet.
> in gentoo, the pb appears with 2.6.30-r2
Can you check whether above commit:
acpi: Fix regression where _PPC is not read at boot even when ignore_ppc=0
Is included in these gentoo kernels?

Can you attach acpidump output, please.
