Hi all, This small patch set may look a little over a month late, but there is a serious reason for posting it.
When I moved the ARM delay loop over to using the architected timers rather than the CPU spinning loop (which has all the problems associated with cpu frequency scaling and what-not) I thought I was doing something useful for the port. However, it turns out that a surprising number of people have complained, and continue to complain, about the drop in their `BogoMIPs score'. After some education, they usually give in, but I figured it could be solved by removing the reporting of this number to userspace altogether. Unfortunately, that affects the output of /proc/cpuinfo, which I'm not comfortable changing, so instead I've written this slightly tongue-in-cheek series reporting obviously bogus values in those fields in the hope that people don't interpret them as anything meaningful.
