I've fixed one last bug in Carl's update for cell-oprofile (int flags
instead of unsigned long flags) and made sure the comments fit the
usual style. This fixes a long-standing bug that prevented us from
using oprofile on SPUs in many real-world scenarios. Please
pull from

 master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/cell-2.6.git merge

so we can get it fixed in 2.6.27-rc3. Sorry for the size of the patch
so late after the merge window, unfortunately it wasn't possible to
fix the problem in a simpler way.

Since you're touching generic oprofile code here, do you have an ack
from the oprofile maintainer?  Or is the oprofile maintainer listed in
MAINTAINERS (Robert Richter) no longer active or something?
