Ben, Arnd and Robert:

The patch was against the latest Arnd Cell Kernel tree at the time it
was posted. The OProfile for cell patches have all been submitted,
accepted by Arnd (CELL Kernel maintainer) and pushed up stream by Arnd.
Arnd has waited for the OProfile maintainer to review and approve the
change before Arnd would push it upstream.  

So, at this point, Robert's (OProfile kernel maintainer) and Maynard's
(OProfile user space maintainer) approval for the patches.  

The question now goes to Arnd and Robert, who is going to push the
patches upstream?  Looks like Robert is ready to do it, so Arnd do you
approve the patches?  Would you like to have Robert push the patches
upstream or would you prefer to do it?  I think we need an
answer/agreement on this.
