Seems to require Windows, so no can do without major pain.

Considering acpi_idle works just fine, I doubt a new BIOS version would
have anything to fix this, except maybe by accident.

[    0.000000] microcode: CPU0 microcode updated early to revision 0x107, date = 2009-08-25
[    0.990876] microcode: CPU0 sig=0x106ca, pf=0x4, revision=0x107
[    0.990972] microcode: CPU1 sig=0x106ca, pf=0x4, revision=0x107

No help unfortunately.
