Is there a bugzilla.kernel.org bug for this one already?
If not, best create one, set the component to cpufreq and add me to CC.

This may boild down to an ACPI thing, though.
The CPU frequencies are passed to the kernel via ACPI BIOS parts.
You may want to look out for BIOS settings in this area as well, but something 
seem to go really wrong.
Please make sure you have the latest BIOS installed and attach dmesg to the
bug.
