The out of sync errors are occurring because when you
perform a frequency change, the kernel's record of what
the fid and should be for that CPU are not matching
what it is reading from the physical CPU's MSRs.
I thought Keir and I had narrowed that problem down to
an issue in the implementation of VCPU pinning and fixed
it. Do you have all of the following change sets?
