As what Pavel Machek reported [1], some userspace applications depend on
bogomips showed by /proc/cpuinfo.

Although there is much less legacy impact on aarch64 than arm, but it does
break libvirt.

Basically, this patch reverts commit 326b16db9f69fd0d279be873c6c00f88c0a4aad5
("arm64: delay: don't bother reporting bogomips in /proc/cpuinfo"), but with
some tweak due to context change.

I lost this argument last time around, so I won't re-tread that path this
time around. I do, however, have some comments on the patch.

This double newline makes /proc/cpuinfo looks really odd. Can we just
have one, please?

Can we drop this hunk? I don't see a pressing need to print this in
dmesg.

Sure, will solve them in v2.

Thanks,
Yang

I guess this needs Cc'ing to stable, too.

Thanks,
