With all due respect, I fail to see any value in being able to calculate BogoMips from the command line.
The uptime command provides accurate system load information in a much more useful format. The BogoMips calculation just wastes CPU cycles, which is certainly not something you would want to do on a heavily loaded system. The BogoMips calculation was only intended to calibrate delay loops in the kernel.
