So the xen passive domain support needs to be accepted into oprofile before the 
matching patches get accepted into Xen? Is there going to be a placeholder or 
some other entry in oprofile cvs, so people know that a define is reserved for 
Xenoprof in  daemon/opd_interface.h?
Any thoughts on how to determine whether the old or new xenoprof interface is 
being used. The oprofile kernel-user space interface doesn't have versioning 
information.
