[PATCH] ppc64: fix oprofile sample bit handling
Oprofile was hardwiring the MMCRA sample bit to 1 but on newer cpus (eg POWER5) we want to vary it based on the group being sampled. Add a temporary workaround until people update their oprofile userspace. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
