Hmm, right tracing really does a number on cpufreq.

Switched to 

+       if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DRM_I915_TRACE_IRQ_LATENCY)) {
+               struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv = rq->i915;
+               u32 now = I915_READ(RING_TIMESTAMP(rq->engine->mmio_base));
+
+               trace_i915_wait_irq_latency(rq,
+                                           now - intel_engine_get_timestamp(rq->engine),
+                                           rq->global_seqno == intel_engine_get_seqno(rq->engine));
+       }
+

from a plain pr_err() and the latency effect just vanished. That makes
it tricky.
