me too. Something like:

before:

     1.08%           cc1  libc-2.12.so                  [.] _int_malloc
     0.94%           cc1  [kernel.kallsyms]             [k] clear_page_c
     0.74%           cc1  libc-2.12.so                  [.] _int_free
     0.69%           cc1  [kernel.kallsyms]             [k] page_fault
     0.46%           cc1  libc-2.12.so                  [.] malloc_consolidate

after:

     1.08%           cc1  # libc-2.12.so                [.] _int_malloc
     0.94%           cc1  # kernel                      [k] clear_page_c
     0.74%           cc1  # libc-2.12.so                [.] _int_free
     0.69%           cc1  # kernel                      [k] page_fault
     0.46%           cc1  # libc-2.12.so                [.] malloc_consolidate


Would largely do the trick i think. The comments delineate the DSO 
portion from the task portion nicely - while also being a familar 
pattern. The column of [.] and [k] gives kernel developers a quick 
glance wrt. whether it's kernel or user-space - and it also delineates 
the symbol column from the DSO column.

Thanks,
