That is exactly what didn't work! A write to the scaling_max_freq via sysfs was
clipped by bios_limit, as far as I can tell. It never want up again, after a
write to scaling_max_freq occured. I reproduced this having a small while loop
in the bash shell, that wrote the maximum CPU frequency to scaling_max_freq
while bios_limit was low.

I will try to reproduce the issue again and post the bash loop code here.
