Could you test with turbo_mode re-enabled and with this patch applied?

Also could you test network receive throughput (e.g. with netperf -t
TCP_STREAM, sending *to* the RPi) in these three different
configurations:

1. turbo_mode=0
2. turbo_mode=1, current driver
3. turbo_mode=1, patched driver

(Unfortunately netperf is non-free due to a slightly weird licence.
Also take care to remove it afterwards as the server allows a trivial
network DoS if you leave it running...)
