Really? AFAICT P4 will happily slow down behind our backs, making at
least udelays() with interrupts disabled sleep for too long.
I believe we are seeing similar behaviours with the drivers. As a
temporary workaround, we have asked the manufacturers to supply us
with a BIOS that disabled THRM-Throttling. So far, things are looking
good, but we are still doing more testing.

At least in toshiba notebook, I was hitting thermal throttling even
through both fans were okay. There are many misdesigned machines out
there, I fear.
In our case, we are running the unit in mobile environment, with not
much ventilation. In our test environment, the unit runs fine at
temperatures of 80-90 degrees. In the real environment, we only expect
temperatures of 50-70 degrees.
