[pypy-dev] New performance monitoring functionality in Linux kernel 2.6.31

[Jacob Hallén]

The upcoming Linux kernel release has functionality for monitoring low level 
events like cache misses, page faults, instructions and cycles. It may be 
useful in future development and debugging of the PyPy JIT. The new kernel is 
expected to be released in about 2 weeks.
