Bug Description

My cpu is i7-3667U, 2.0 Ghz, with turbo goes to 3.1Ghz.

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.02. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/bios_limit is 2.0Ghz, no matter what settings I use for BIOS.

However, i7z estimates show that the cpu is able to run at 3.1Ghz, while cat /proc/cpuinfo is capped at 2.0Ghz.
