Oprofile

Just a quick question on oprofile.

I saw today on Freshmeat that Oprofile v 0.71 is out
(detailed code profiling tool).
A bit of further poking around revealed that there is an
Oprofile RPM (0.7 version) available, which is very convenient,
and I was able it install using Yum. Very good!

I note though that the oprofile module is built into
the 2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp kernel only - the uniprocessor one
hasn't got it. Anyone know why? Not looking to point fingers,
just curious as there might be an interesting reason.
