Do you plan to submit oprofile support aswell?  In that case it's fine
otherwise please send it together with the actual oprofile support.

Small style issue, this should be:

	int node;

	/*
	 * Wake up the active spu_contexts.
	 *
	 * When the awakened processes see their "notify_active" flag is set,
	 * they will call spu_switch_notify().
	 */

useless (and wrong) reformatting, please remove.

this should use test_and_clear_bit
