Take a look at your own NB [1].
That's why there's jackfreqd.
Disable PCI
and/or PCIe power-management in the BIOS and also disable
EIST and C1E halt-states; and, the 'ondemand' governor will works just fine.
There's no PCI/PCIe power-management option and no EIST for my BIOS.
C1E already was disabled.
If you have an unlimited supply of power and
noise of cooling
the system is of no concern: sure, use the 'performance' CPU-freq
governor -- reducing the number of possibilities in complex systems
usually increases reliability... which is indeed a good thing for audio.

This is an edge case and very hard to reproduce and very unlikely to
cause any issue to normal users (Sorry Nando, you and your setup at
CCRMA don't qualify as /normal/. It's an awesome setup).
NTL, you could have left the link to
http://rg42.org/oss/jackfreqd/
here. It's piece of software that can work around the described problem.
