The upstream kernel is likely to eventually get support for
perfmon2 integrated, but this could really use more work.
It's been in -mm for a while.  If there's anything that sysprof
can do that perfmon can't (which would be surprising given
perfmons featuritis) it would useful to talk with the perfmon
developers so we can eventually arrive at an upstreamed solution
and not have to worry about integrating out-of-tree patches.
