I just realized this never got answered, sorry about that.

That tunable you mention was a workaround for rpi sdcard problems, and
it never actually helped anyway and should probably be removed.

If there's a way to change the cpu frequency, it's not in the scanty
little doc I've got about that processor.  If it can be done, the how-to
can probably be found in the linux source, but I don't have time to work
on it.
