Well, the last piece of the puzzle which needs consideration is that
omitting the calibration means that it produces user-visible
/proc/cpuinfo changes.  I can't say what effect that has.  So, I
think we need to do something about that to ensure that userspace
won't be impacted should they be using the information in there.

Maybe we need to initialize the secondary CPU bogomips values
accordingly?  Maybe zero is acceptable to mark that the calculation
hasn't been done?  Dunno.
