What values in /proc/cpuinfo can change?

Of all the fields in /proc/cpuinfo, which ones aren't fixed (as long as
you keep the same processor)?

According to the HOWTO I know bogomips can change.

What about flags/features? Can things be done to a CPU to change the
flags?

Is cpu MHz a real measurement of the speed the CPU is running, or is it
a fixed number that is dependent on the CPU type?

Thanks!
