This is the response I got from the author which is, BTW, a Red Hat employee
(though sysprof is not a Red Hat project):

<snippet from original email>
The reason I didn't reply is that the issue with the sysprof kernel
module is a little tricky. Basically, the kernel developers I have
talked to are saying that sysprof overlaps with the oprofile module,
so I haven't attempted getting it upstream.

One possibility is that I port sysprof to use the oprofile module, but
there are some issues with that as well.
<end snippet>

Moreover, I was told it already exists a proof of concept of the latter solution
(using the oprofile module), so chances are the kmod could go away in a
reasonable timeframe.
