(Prompted by the other thread, and a recurrence of the event.)

Sometimes (but not always), when I resume my X220 (4291WJF), its
temperature starts increasing from somewhere around +42=B0C up to around
+74=B0C, where it stays for a while.  Although today it fell down to +68=B0C
and is now holding steady.

All CPUs are idle.  powertop says both cores spend over 90% in C7.
Frequency-wise, oh look: powertop claims all four CPUs are running at
2.7=B10.1 GHz.  Meanwhile /proc/cpuinfo says 800 MHz for all cores, most
of the time, with brief spikes up to 2501 on random ones.

This is Ubuntu 13.04 (GNOME Remix).

$ uname -a

I've now recorded lspci -vvv (https://gist.github.com/mgedmin/5957200),
will compare with normal one when laptop starts behaving normally again.
