I'm assuming Mikael's Pettersson "perfctr" wasn't mentioned due to it's lack of likelihood to make it into the main-line kernel in the near future. Is that the case?

It's still a very useful performance monitoring API and utilized quite extensively by UT Knoxville's Performance API (PAPI), even if it never makes the big time.

2.6 is his x86 release... 2.7 is PPC only... his link for "current" points to 2.6. ;)
