Gotcha - this is a minimal fixup for -stable which we'll tackle properly
in the merge window with the stuff in oprofile/core. In that case I'm
happy for this to go upstream now:

Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon at arm.com>


I also built an -rc6 kernel with this change on top and OProfile worked
happily across module loads/unloads.

As for oprofile/core; will you handle the conflicts there or do I need
to resend my previous patches?
