It don't think it makes sense to apply the linux part of these patches
directly to the sparse tree -- the sparse tree should remain close to
the vanilla base.  

Putting the patch into the patches/linux directory won't work either as
it touches files that are already in the sparse tree: the patch would
need to be reverted before doing checkins. 

What's probably best is if we check the patch into a tools/oprofile
directory along with the user space tools. Have you had any feedback
from the oprofile maintainer?

Thanks,
Ian
