No, this is not a _bug_. This is a missing feature that the current kernel
doesn't support and you know about that! The fact that you can trigger a crash
due to hw limitation doesn't qualify as a bug IMO. And you can do that by other
means also (CPU throttling without CPUFreq support etc...)

Anyway, I'll stop here and let Alex to make a call.

Either case, feel free to add:
