Ok, now that you mentioned workqueues, I remember the powernow-k8
workaround from Tejun a couple of days ago and looking at Linus' tree
from today, he actually merged a fix for exactly that:

commit c5c473e29c641380aef4a9d1f9c39de49219980f
Merge: 925a6f0bf8bd 6889125b8b4e
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Wed Sep 19 11:00:07 2012 -0700

    Merge branch 'for-3.6-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
    
    Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo:
     "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
      BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a
      different CPU.

and this is exactly the same BUG_ON I'm hitting. and powernowk8_target
is in the stack trace so it has to be the same issue.

I'll update my tree to latest Linus and retest.

Thanks for pointing this out.
