Yup, I understand your needs.  But, it is rather by design of
acpi_thermal.  However, you can stop passive cooling by setting
hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling to zero even when passive cooling
is active.  You can do the following step:

  1) sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling=0
  2) Set your favorite CPU speed by dev.cpu.0.freq
  3) sysctl hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.passive_cooling=1

Sincerely,
