Oprofile in 2.6.27 doesn't work on this system, as far as I know.

Yes, it seems to be very system-specific. As I have said in my original 
mail, the machine we are seeing this problem on is

        vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
        cpu family      : 15
        model           : 47
        model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
        stepping        : 0

but on the other hand on the following CPU, the oprofile works with 2.6.27 
and 2.6.28-rc4 without any problems, NMIs are coming flawlessly

        vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
        cpu family      : 15
        model           : 4
        model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
        stepping        : 8
