It used to be ~1 BogoMIP per (x86 ISA) processor Mhz. Now, it's ~2.
I have dual 561Mhz processors, so a total of 1120 BogoMIPS makes sense with
previous kernels.

The calculation seems much more stable, due to the TSC being used. I like
this.
Surely though, being 2x out would not be good for lots of user-land apps
using this as a {rough, simply} processor power measurement.
