I have the same laptop as the originator of this bug, slightly different model due to uprated CPU (Acer Aspire 1524Wlmi).

I have been experiencing the same problems due to overheating. I have fixed any compile errors and warnings in the DSDT, but still have no throttling support and the following CPU info is reported:

cat /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/info
processor id: 0
acpi id: 0
bus mastering control: no
power management: no
throttling control: no
limit interface: no

powernow-k8 is loaded and I've tried stopping powernowd and changing the polling frequency, but didn't seem to help.
