Unfortunately no. in order to support reclocking on Fermi with powergating (which is important; since you can't test clockgating very well without it) we are going to need to do some more investigation. Unlike Kepler and later generations, Fermi seems to require some extra maintanence of it's clockgating registers (CG_CTRL) during reclocking operations that we don't quite understand yet. We'll figure it out, but I'd like to get out initial support for Kepler first since I'm confident this series is pretty solid and it would be good to get early feedback on this. Plus, Fermi doesn't have working reclocking in nouveau just yet. I am planning on eventually adding Fermi clockgating support when reclocking gets fixed!
