Whoa!
Thanks, I'm glad it worked out. :-)
Btw. I have almost forgotten that I once wrote code
(that I didn't send) for the GCC gcov subsystem that also enabled
-fprofile-generate/use for the kernel.
However the Clang PGO looks much more approachable and
easier to hack on since the profile data format is simpler.
So starting to work on this felt just natural to me. :-)
