Doesn't work and build for CONFIG_32BIT. So disable it.

OProfile is enhanced to export all files for controlling System z's
hardware sampling, and to invoke hwsampler exported functions to
initialize and use System z's hardware sampling.
The patch invokes hwsampler_setup() during oprofile init and exports
following hwsampler files under oprofilefs if hwsampler's setup
succeeded:
A new directory for hardware sampling based files
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/
The userland daemon must explicitly write to the following files
to disable (or enable) hardware based sampling
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hwsampler
to modify the actual sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_interval
to modify the amount of sampling memory (measured in 4K pages)
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_sdbt_blocks
The following files are read only and show
the possible minimum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_min_interval
the possible maximum sampling rate
/dev/oprofile/hwsampling/hw_max_interval
The patch splits the oprofile_timer_[init/exit] function so that it
can be also called through user context (oprofilefs) to avoid kernel
oops.
Applied with following changes:
* whitespace changes in Makefile and timer_int.c

This adds support for hardware based sampling on System z processors
(models z10 and up).
System z's hardware sampling is described in detail in:
SA23-2260-01 "The Load-Program-Parameter and CPU-Measurement Facilities"
The patch introduces
- support for System z's hardware sampler in OProfile's kernel module
- it adds functions that control all hardware sampling related
operations as:
- checking if hardware sampling feature is available, i.e.: on
System z models z10 and up, in LPAR mode only, and authorised
during LPAR activation
- allocating memory for the hardware sampling feature
- starting/stopping hardware sampling
All functions required to start and stop hardware sampling have to be
invoked by the oprofile kernel module as provided by the other patches
of this patch set.
In case hardware based sampling cannot be setup standard timer based
sampling is used by OProfile.
Applied with following changes:
* enable compilation in Makefile

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
