To make sure, I wanted to recompile the kernel without CPU frequency
scaling support. Not as easy as I thought ;)

Is there a kernel option I can use for?

I disabled

  Power management and ACPI Options  --->
    CPU Frequency scaling  --->
      [ ] CPU Frequency scaling

which isn't enough:

Disabling

  Power management and ACPI Options  --->
    ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  --->
      [ ] Processor

finally allowed me to disable cpuidle. But I still don't see a useful
message:

And BTW, the last output before the kernel panic varies:

...but no useful message at all :(
