 I'd say that the problem is because of acpi_throttle driver, which is kind of
 dangerous and useless driver because of how it regulates frequency.
 
 I usually disable it on my Intel machines via:
 hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1
 
 I am a bit surprised that acpi_perf and (dependent on it) est drivers haven't
 attached.
