No C-states is OK on this platform. Looking at your dmesg again, I see mwait
substates as 0x20, which means there is only C1 state supported on this
platform.

So, basically, TSC is not going to be disabled on this platform by C-state
driver as TSC is "supposed' to run fine with C1 and will only be broken with C2
or deeper. I was wrong in comment #3 when I said C-state driver should be
disabling TSC anyway.

So, acpi_pad is the only driver disabling TSC and thats helping this platform
survive. It will be interesting to see pre 2.6.32 behaviour as len mentioned in
comment #16.
