With these 3 patches applied the MCP log message noise goes away. The 
4th patch (also applied) is the debug patch mentioned in my first email 
(if you're still interested in it). This is on top of Linus tree at 
830c55a673537ca33ef4689fb5f20c2d66d98519 (plus some Ubuntu cruft).

The only 'intel ips' messages left in the log are these:

intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: Warning: CPU TDP doesn't match expected value 
(found 25, expected 35)
intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: PCI INT C -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: IPS driver initialized, MCP temp limit 95
