Hi,
Our sampling driver kernel module which uses these hooks is GPL and could be included in the kernel.org tree.
The current version of the driver (also GPL, but which hooks the sys_call_table for 2.4.x-based kernels) is posted at,
http://www.intel.com/software/products/opensource/vdk/
We plan to post our new driver for kernel 2.6.0-test5 (with the event notification patch applied) on both IA-32 and IA-64 to the above site early next week.

If the code which uses these hooks is included in the kernel.org tree, yes.
If the code which needs the hooks is not in the kernel.org tree then people can patch the core kernel at the same time as adding the performance analysis patch.
If the code which needs these hooks is not appropriately licensed then these hooks basically constitute a GPL bypass and that is not a direction we wish to be heading in.
