In the meanwhile we're pushing out a change that just blanket allows
225MHz on Fermi and 297MHz on Kepler, with a kernel option override
available. At least one GF106 user claims to have working 297MHz with
proprietary drivers (and with nouveau in presence of the patches):

Having an accurate way to auto-detect this would be ideal though, as
higher bandwidth monitors are becoming more ubiquitous.
