I wonder if this is enough for oprofile. Don't you need to access user
space data of the task running on the SPU? I always assumed you want
to do it via get_user or copy_from_user, which obviously doesn't work
here, when you're running in the oprofile task. Are you using something
like access_process_vm now?
