I'm sorry to say this, but you can forget it. The problem is not the
BIOS, but the chipset.  It is the manufacturer of the board that tells
the BIOS company (Award) what options there are available on the
hardware and how they are accessed from software, and Award then
writes corresponding setup code.  If your board manufacturer hasn't
told Award to include a bus speed option, it probably ain't there at
all.  And even if it's there, there is no standard way to control a
chipset so there won't be any programs around that can do such a
thing, except maybe from the board manufacturer. If you want to know,
try to contact them.
