to get this commit below. I have rebased it on top of the current
benh/powerpc/next branch.

All powerpc oprofile patches are in this branch:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git powerpc-f=
or-paul

Pending patches are:

Carl Love (1):
      powerpc/cell/oprofile: fix mutex locking for spu-oprofile

Roel Kluin (1):
      powerpc/cell/oprofile: vma_map: fix test on overlay_tbl_offset

Please pull from there.
