On the s/390x architecture, libvirt may already return 0 in the
node_info->mhz field (see src/nodeinfo.c:linuxNodeInfoCPUPopulate).
We may also want to return this on aarch64 in future, because
calculating the proper value requires SMBIOS, which is not available
on non-server-class systems (specifically on systems which don't
adhere to the SBSA standard).
Therefore this change documents the existing behaviour and provides a
valid path for aarch64.
