  Ok, Ian
  Just a clarification. The cleanups suggested by John Levon,
  are for the user level tools and for the modifications on the
  generic code of Oprofile in "drivers/oprofile". Both of
  these patches are not expected to go into the sparse tree,
  anyhow. I was expecting that only the changes to "arch/xen/oprofile"
  would go to the sparse tree. There is no cleanups suggested
  by John Levon for this patch. 

  From your message, I am assuming that you are agreeing to include the
  "arch/xen/oprofile" modifications into the sparse tree when
  it moves to the 2.6.14 (please, correct it if I am wrong).
  Any expectation of when this should happen? 
 
  In the mean time, I will be working on the cleanups suggested
  by John for the user level tools and for generic Oprofile code
  modifications.

  Forgive me, but I am not sure I understand what you mean in this
  sentence. Could you please clarify ...

  Thanks
