So despite scaling lpj by a factor of two for the doubling in clock
frequency, we see a 30% error in it?

Is it possible to boot at 624MHz and report the resulting lpj?
Alternatively, call calibrate_delay() after the cpufreq switch to
624MHz, disabling the 'printed' stuff and see what it reports.

I wonder if this is a case where it scales according to

	new_lpj = ref_lpj * (new_freq / ref_freq) + some_offset

rather than just

	new_lpj = ref_lpj * (new_freq / ref_freq)
