[PATCH 0/6] ARM: oprofile: use perf-events framework as backend [v4]

[Will Deacon]

This is version 4 [hopefully the final iteration!] of the patchset originally
posted here:

V1: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-February/010476.html
V2: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-March/011126.html
V3: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-April/012871.html

The only change since V3 is that the previous changes to the generic
perf-events code have been moved into the ARM backend. This places the whole
patchset under arch/arm/.

I've not received any feedback for version 3, so unless I receive any objections
to this version, I'll submit it to the patch system this week.
