Hmm, "BogoMIPS is a tool used to create a web page about Android Benchmarks". And a stupid table here: https://www.securiteinfo.com/divers/android_bogomips_benchmark.shtml. Even though it's against the user ABI kernel policy, I must say I'm glad we broke this one ;). pyaudio is a valid complaint though (and not about the bogomips value but about the presence of the "bogomips" string). -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
