Has this version of the patch been tested on a system where the problem
is reproducible?

It occurs to me that the whole thing is only necessary on x86, so maybe it can
go under a #ifdef?

Or even to arch/x86/acpi/ (boot.c or a new file)?

This check can be made once in acpi_early_processor_set_osc().
