Well, from looking at Udo's feedback here

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132206108724885

this patch looks like it helps in his case partially. I'm still not sure

need to notify the user that the CPU clock was throttled/power limits
were applied, or rather have something more subtle...?

Hmmm.
