getting cpu clock info in kernel

Hi all,

I am trying to get the value of cpu clock (Mhz) in my kernel module i.e.,
without reading /proc/cpuinfo. I see that there is an extern variable
cpu_khz in /asm-i386/timex.h, but unfortunately it is not exported. Any help
would be really appreciated! I am using 2.4.18.3 kernel.

Thanks!
