Well, your bogomips number will probably be *much* lower than before, so
don't be surprised by that.

Indeed !!
This is what I observed. Can we not keep that behavior old way. BogoMIPS and
CPU clock is often very easy to co-related and helpful for CPUFREQ stats.

I defer to David Miller, who had a similar reaction when he did this for
sparc:

Fair enough. Anybody who sees this BOGOMIPS change will
get similar reaction. I am fine with it now after knowing the
reason.
Thought was just to avoid similar question in future which you
might have to answer :-)
