> A ProfileMe sample's PC alone does not say what happened to the profiled

> With PERF_SAMPLE_RAW, attach PMPC, I_STAT and PCTR_CTL to each ProfileMe
> sample in a versioned struct alpha_profileme_sample. PMPC is included
> because a PALmode PMPC is not the sample's IP. Killed instructions can be
> told apart by PM_KILLED_BM and VAL. The 64-bit fields are packed after
> the 32-bit version, since the payload follows the 32-bit raw size in the
> sample record: they are then 8-byte aligned in the record, which needs
> no padding.
