Interesting, that would mean the BIOS additionally sets some HW
registers to limit things or processor.ignore_ppc is broken for you,
but as it works for others, I can't see why...

Is /sys/devices/.../bios_limit still showing lower values?
This should not be possible anymore with this param.
Then better double check that you've written the parameter correctly
or also try a latest vanilla kernel if not done yet.
