This is the first update to the patch previously posted by Maynard

There are still a few items from the comments being discussed
specifically how to profile the dynamic code for the SPFS context
switch
code and how to deal with dynamic code stubs for library support.  Our
proposal is to assign the samples from the SPFS and dynamic library
code
to an anonymous sample bucket.  The support for properly handling the
symbol extraction in these cases would be deferred to a later SDK.    

There is also a bug in profiling overlay code that we are
investigating.

Subject: Add support to OProfile for profiling Cell BE SPUs

From: Maynard Johnson <redacted>

This patch updates the existing arch/powerpc/oprofile/op_model_cell.c
to add in the SPU profiling capabilities.  In addition, a 'cell'
subdirectory
was added to arch/powerpc/oprofile to hold Cell-specific SPU profiling
code.

Patch got mangled. You seem to be using evolution, make sure you use the
"Preformat" style when posting a patch.
