The only thing Linus sais is that it's trivial to generate a subpackage, and that opofile is a desaster. Both of them are 100% correct but at the same time entirely miss the point.
Yes, oprofile was and is a desaster, but that has aboslutely nothing to do with where the code lives.
And yes, it's easy to generate a subpackage, but you still need all the source tree first. There's a reason why things like X.org got split up (too fine grained in my opinion, but that's another story).
As said I very much disagree with having the userspace perf tree in the kernel still, but I've also given up on the fight as I have more important things to do.
And as said before it has nothing to do with the issue discussed here right now.
