Ok, it seems to work at least a little (btw, oprofile cause the machine to be
unusable whenever a bunch of processes started up).

I got a bunch of scary messages like these though:

For cpu 140 entry 998 incremented kernel count=3
Bad kernel cum_hold_ticks=-8658575876528 (FFFFF82004A91E50) for cpu=140
index=999
For cpu 140 entry 999 incremented kernel count=3

John, what does that mean? The lock contention was heavy, but I wouldn't
think that we'd overflow a 64 bit tick counter...

The output is attached (my mailer insists on wrapping it if I inline it). I
used 'lockstat -w'.
