than just ARM. Move the code into drivers/oprofile/ so that SH can use
it instead of the nearly identical copy of its OProfile code.Nice, I didn't know such a backend already existed. Now that you have made it generic we should aim towards making it the only oprofile backend and getting rid of all the duplication.
