If you are talking about the driver in the oprofile package itself, don't use 
that. Red Hat has been using the driver in the kernel code for some time.

If you are talking about the kernel. You will noticed that each architecture has 
a oprofile subdirectory in the kernel source code, e.g. arch/i386/oprofile.  All 
the Makefile and Kconfig stuff is in there.
