The cleanup looks fine, but should get a unique patch name, e.g. 
'[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/cell/oprofile: clean up event handling' to
make the shortlog more meaningful. No need to mention in the changelog
what the other patch does.

Please mention that this patch is not supposed to change any behaviour.
