cat into /proc/cpufreq the frequency/ies that suit your needs, under
the format

    cpu_nr:min_freq:max_freq:policy

For instance, 

    0:1000000:1000000:performance

will set the (sole) processor number 0 to work only at 1GHz, and to
keep performance in mind, i.e., such a line will coerce the processor
to give all it can.

See Documentation/cpufreq inside your kernel source tree for details,
including a kernel argument which accomplishes the same thing
(although I have not tested it).
