Hi, Maynard Johnson - whose name you probably recognize for all the ppc
contributions he's made to OProfile, and myself (I'm a jit developer at
IBM) are planning on taking this up from where Frank Levine's team
(which at the time included Scott Jones, Jimmy DeWitt and Enio Pineda, I
hope I didn't miss anyone) left it.

I don't think that Frank's team has maintained these patches in any form
different from what you will find in the mailing list archives. In fact,
our plan is to scour the mailing lists (I believe they sent two
different implementations), grab those patches and start working from
there.
