+ * counter for the selected SPU onto the debug bus using words 2 and 3.
+ * The pm_interval register is setup to write the SPU PC value into the
+ * trace buffer at the maximum rate possible.  The trace buffer is configured
+ * to store the PCs, wrapping when it is full.  The performance counter is
+ * intialized to the max hardware count minus the number of events, N, between
+ * samples.  Once the N events have occured, a HW counter overflow occurs
+ * causing the generation of a HW counter interrupt which also stops the
+ * writing of the SPU PC values to the trace buffer.  Hence the last PC
+ * written to the trace buffer is the SPU PC that we want.  Unfortunately,
+ * we have to read from the beginning of the trace buffer to get to the
+ * last value written.  We just hope the PPU has nothing better to do then
+ * service this interrupt. The PC for the specific SPU being profiled is
+ * extracted from the trace buffer processed and stored.  The trace buffer
+ * is cleared, interrupts are cleared, the counter is reset to max - N.
+ * A kernel timer is used to periodically call the routine spu_evnt_swap()
+ * to switch to the next physical SPU in the node to profile in round robbin
+ * order.  This way data is collected for all SPUs on the node. It does mean
+ * that we need to use a relatively small value of N to ensure enough samples
+ * on each SPU are collected each SPU is being profiled 1/8 of the time.
+ * It may also be necessary to use a longer sample collection period.
