It conflicts with Arun's patch for sorting by CPU that I started playing with
yesterday, but in a good way, i.e. printing the CPU at that dump_printf spot
was one of the changs I made in Arun's patch as well.

[root@...lia linux-2.6-tip]# perf report -D | grep SAMPLE | head -6

I added it just before the pid/tid but prefixing it with "cpu: " is as good as
doing it that way.

I'm applying both patches after some tests,

Thanks!
