Testing this with the multiplier set to 8, I get the speeds to stabilize
at the unrealistic(?) for standard clocks figure of 831M.  Could be
misreporting, but the actual results look OK.

Comparing this to the results I posted earlier, standard clocks:

99g 0:00:49:45 0.49% (ETA: 2017-07-06 17:59) 0.03316g/s 342899p/s 806212Kc/s 1168MC/s lynnaaaa..lynnaays

Old 5% overclock (w/o the hack):

brewster         (u1794-des)
99g 0:00:47:39 0.49% (ETA: 2017-07-06 09:17) 0.03462g/s 358015p/s 840055Kc/s 1217MC/s lynnaaaa..lynnaays

So in terms of passwords cracked, this hack is similar to but not
exactly at the 5% overclock level, but without the overclock.  It will
probably be of a lot more help with multiple boards per host, but I
might as well guess wrong.
