Thanks Andi,

I applied your patches to the x86-oprofile-for-tip branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git

I added a follow on patch (446223f) on branch arch-perfmon that
changes the initialization so that it uses the init function in
op_x86_model_spec (see below). Please give it a try, it is compile
tested only. If it works for you, I will add it to the tip branch too.

There is one question to patch "oprofile: discover counters for op
ppro too". arch_perfmon_setup_counters() is actually never called for
ppro, so there is no code that changes the numbers in
op_ppro_spec. The patch as it is has no effect (except then loading
additional module code).

Thanks,

-Robert
