[PATCH] sleep profiling 
 
Implement prof=sleep profiling.  TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken 
as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit 
for the call site that initiated the sleep. 
 
Sample readprofile output on i386: 
 
   306 ps2_sendbyte                               1.3973 
   432 call_usermodehelper_keys                   1.9548 
   484 ps2_command                                0.6453 
   790 __driver_attach                            4.7879 
  1593 msleep                                    44.2500 
  3976 sync_buffer                               64.1290 
  4076 do_lookup                                 12.4648 
  8587 sync_page                                122.6714 
 20820 total                                      0.0067 
 
(NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from 
deep within the wakeup path.) 
 
akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched.  lock_sock(), msleep(), others.. 
 
akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise.  Presumably doing disk 
reads for directory contents while holding i_mutex.
