So your DSDT has:

   External (\_PR_.CPUF, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPUE, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPUD, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPUC, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPUB, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPUA, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU9, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU8, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU7, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU6, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU5, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU4, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU3, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU2, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU1, DeviceObj)
    External (\_PR_.CPU0, DeviceObj)

And along with some other stuff in the DSDT it advertises that
it has 16 CPUs and it sets up even sixteen _CST and _PST data structures.

But you only have eight. This is really a BIOS bug.

However, let me fix it in the driver so that you don't get that error.
(I had a similar fix in the driver for dealing with the P-states
but didn't do it for the C-states).
