[vmips] Linux BogoMIPS

Sorry, forgot to add this to my post:

I see the same 1.05 BogoMIPS value you had.  This is true no matter
what hardware I run VMIPS on.  I've run it on a pokey old PII 400 MHz
and a new P4 3.2 GHz box and the BoboMIPS number is the same.  Is this
due to something hard-coded in the RTC part of VMIPS?  In real time it
seems to run about 3 times faster on the P4, but I expected it to be
faster than that compared to the P2.

Finally, if I leave Linux "running" after it appears to hang I
eventually see this:

"RTC counted 50000 interrupts"
"RTC counted 100000 interrupts"

That's what leads me to believe Linux is actually running under there
somewhere.  I know those are VMIPS messages, but if Linux was actually
hung in an exception loop somewhere I wouldn't expect to see those. 
Thanks again.
