Hang on, I spoke too soon.  That code is already supposed to work with
alpha linux, it was made for kernel 2.2.5 which gives "cycle
frequency" per the comments.  Do later kernels need something else?
Please post a sample /proc/cpuinfo.

I think I used cycle frequency rather than BogoMIPS on the assumption
the latter would include the effect of multiple processors in an SMP
system, but I haven't actually checked that.
