The original patch set of this is here (a rebased version):

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/rric/oprofile.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/perf-nb

This code was tested in detail.

So I rather suggest to make delta patches on top of my patches.

Peter's main concerns were that my patch set is not in the
Intel-uncore style. I started reworking this but was not able to
finish my work. This concerns still exist.

Due to the current situation I would rather prefer to create a
tip:perf/amd-nb branch that includes my patches and then add all
further necessary steps for mainline acceptance on top of it.

Thanks,

-Robert
