The original post consisted of three patches.  Patch 1 is for the user
OProfile code.  It adds the SPU events to the user tool list of events.

The second and third patch are the kernel patches.  

The plan is now that the kernel code is accepted, I need to tweek the
user patch so the documentation on the functionality will have the
correct minimum kernel level.  I will then regenerate it against the
very latest oprofile code base and repost it for inclusion into the next
OProfile release.  

If you want to use it ASAP, I can give you the bits and get you going on
it now.
