acpi_throttle is broken ATM on your machine. BTW if you boot with hint.apic.0.disabled="1" into /boot/loader.conf does this solve the acpi_throttle issue?

No. hint.apic.0.disabled makes no difference to me: hint.powernow.0.disabled has no effect (powernow0 still attaches) and throttling can still cause random lockups unless acpi_throttle is disabled.

Thanks for your report. In order to disable powernow, you shouldn't load the cpufreq kernel module, or don't compile your kernel with the device cpufreq.

The cpufreq.ko is a bundlle of different hw drivers related to cpufreq, but without the acpi specfic ones, those being acpi_throttle and acpi_perf and they are included into acpi.ko.

After that check, you want to go back to powernow enabled and without acpi_throttle, since powernow ofer way much more power saving than throttling.
