Thanks Jon.

In my case I first saw the error because tuned uses x86_energy_perf_policy which uses to poke at MSRs [1]. And that was tainting my kernel and I initially couldn't understand why.
It's been fixed but will be released in an upcoming kernel version (it's in tip at the moment [2]).
Thanks to Borislav for work and for helping me out!
