Would be nice to get feedback from PowerPC folks to see how well
this matches their memory profiling hw capabilities?
I suspect there's a lot of differences, but one can always hope
...
If there's some hope for unification we could at least shape it
in a way that they could pick up and extend.
Thanks,
Ingo
