Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Xenoprof patches for xen-unstable
  Andrew

  This is weird. Something seems wrong. 
  I am not familiar with the benchmark you are
  running. Is this something easy to try?
  If you could send me the code and some instructions on
  how to use it, I can try running the same benchmark
  in my environment.
  I will also spend sometime looking more carefully
  at xenoprof and my tests to see if I find anything wrong
