that this issue doesn't occur on single socket/multi-core systems.

Where did he write that? In an off-list mail, Ed seemed to agree with my patch.

What i didn't agree with was the dependency on the acpi P-state driver for single socket multi-core systems, where in the original post of this thread, Joshua was stating that smp systems required that driver. Later it was found that the acpi p-state driver was only being used to enforce the dependency on the acpi_processor driver ...which is the actual driver we care about (dependency wise).

So yes, I do agree with your patch, in so far as my experience with the hardware.
