vyncere: Your problem is different. Could it be that 
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/bios_limit does not show max freq?
Then it is related to:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14771
But in contrast to Peter's problem it's BIOS related (and the root cause may be
different and related to ACPI).
If above (bios_limit) is true, best update your BIOS, check related BIOS
options, if processor.ignore_ppc=1 workarounds and BIOS fiddling doesn't help,
please open a new bug and assign it to the ACPI component.

Peter: Your CPU (counters: tsc, aperf, mperf) is/are broken.
Heinz may have a similar problem and if this is more common, a getavg check
could be added whether the values are far away from min/max and getavg is not
considered anymore then. As this is a hotpath, this could be implemented in a
similar check as TSC is checked at boot up, e.g. test 3 times over 100ms
whether getavg is inside ~min/~max limits, if not don't use it.
If this normally never happens it might not be worth it and just the module
param could be added -> Waiting for a test from Heinz, either the boot param
and/or a runtime timer check should be added.
