Just did the testing with the mainline build 2.6.35rc1 in maverick and also with the stock maverick kernel.
Same picture as before: scaling_max_freq goes down to 1.7 GHz when things get hot, but it is not enough. The temperature rises further, but no further automatic reduction of scaling_max_freq occurs (e.g. to 1.3 or even 1.0) (at least not before the very last seconds). Forced overheat shutdown occurs.
