Hi, 

I'm just being curious : do these patches change the way those chips
should be supported, that do not have a PMU-like IP, but implement
PC-sampling thanks to a general purpose timer (not the system timer)
?

CPUs that do not have a PMU are not required to use the perf-events
oprofile backend, it is entirely optional. The pc-sampling timer in
oprofile is not affected by this series.
