This looks like the same issue as:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636797
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/614853
In theory there is also a bugzilla.kernel.org ticket on this issue as
well though bugzilla.kernel.org is still down.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16991
Debian and Ubuntu have papered over this bug by skipping the divide if
cpu_power is 0.

To my knowledge the cause of this bug is still unknown. It is
possible it is fixed in newer kernels, but it is hard to tell since it
doesn't seem to occur until you have reached 200+ days of uptime.
