The bogomips are already a bogus measure. I've been used to see different
values for kernels running in ARM mode versus Thumb2 mode on the same machine,
likely due to different optimizations. What matters is that the LPJ value is
correct for the executed loop so that udelay calculation is accurate enough.
Here everything's OK.
