Wouldn't it make more sense to print it out in MHz, perhaps something like:
p += sprintf(p, "\ncpu MHz\t\t: %lu.%02lu\n\n", cpu_hz / 1000000, (cpu_hz % 1000000) / 10000);
Cheers,
Rafael
PS. The Jumbo patch for 2.0.x has been doing this for some time now. Although Andre Balsa decided to append the MHz rating to the model string.
