Renato, et al,

I hacked my oprofiled as follows

(This is the address range that Rosimildo suggested.)

Now I get pvmlinux samples for my 64-bit guest test case, however, the profile 
is not any good.

Almost all of the samples (148747 out 148751) are to a single address (from 
the oprofiled.log):

Sample 0x167fe0(0): kern (name /boot/pvmlinux2-syms, 
0xffffffff80100000-0xffffffff80600000) ...

Rosimildo's patched SVM code works correctly and provides approximately the 
same kernel profile under HVM as we get when we run the application under a 
kernel natively (where we've run two simple applications:  kernbench and 
stress vm).

We'd like to get to a point where the SVM and VT versions both work, but at 
the moment, we don't have the expertise to create the VT fixes, although 
Rosimildo has created some patches for test purposes.
