Would a rewrite of the bogomips loop be an option?

Not really. The bogomips loop is meant to calibrate short delay loops used
elsewhere in the kernel.

You can always add another calibration loop for the MHz if you absolutely
need to.

Using the bogomips as it is is cheap, so I think I'll code up with that
and add "(maybe wrong by 1 MHz or more)" or something for /proc/cpuinfo's
clock field.  Or remove that field all together where the information is
not readily available.
