This version has following limitations:

* Hypervisor code is only profiled on processors that have running dom0 VCPUs
on them.
With that I assume this is an RFC rather than full-fledged submission?

I was thinking that this would be something like stage 1 implementation (and
probably should have mentioned this in the cover letter).

For this stage I wanted to confine all changes on Linux side to xen subtrees. Properly addressing the above limitation would likely require changes in non-xen
sources (change in perf file format, remote MSR access etc.).
