I am currently working on the perfmon support for Linux/ia64 as you may
have seen for the recent patches.  The goal is to support the entire set
of features of the Itanium PMU including EARS and BTB and not just counting.
Also support is planned for per process AND system-wide monitoring on
both UP and SMP systems.

So I you have any ideas, concerns or want to contribute something, please
feel free to contact me.

Regards,
