That was determined to be an oprofile artifact/regression (see Doug's
other email+thread) The 2.6.30 oprofile seems to be less accurate than
the one in 2.6.24. Of course the question is if it can't get
the user space right, is the kernel data accurate. But I believe
Doug verified with vtune that the kernel data is roughly correct,
just user space profiling was slightly bogus (right, Doug, or
do I misrepresent that?)
