This tells us that it is -EIO which means that acpi_processor_register_performance returns -EIO after trying acpi_processor_get_performance_info. The ".. performance control unavailable" message above tells us that acpi_processor_get_performance_info fails when trying to get the _PCT handle. So, to recheck: are you sure your "Cool'n'quiet" option in the BIOS is enabled? If not, please enable it and retest.
