Similar setup here (except for LVM). The box seems quite solid (multiple
kernel compiles, and nothing is screaming).

My u-boot says:

CPU0: APM ARM 64-bit Potenza Rev A3 2400MHz PCP 2400MHz
     32 KB ICACHE, 32 KB DCACHE
     SOC 2000MHz IOBAXI 400MHz AXI 250MHz AHB 200MHz GFC 125MHz

How does this compares to yours?
