Summary: Disabling kernel/userspace samples in OProfile does not work

Initial Comment:
Using the domain control bits provided by opcontrol, disabling kernel/user space samples in OProfile does not work and samples in both domains are always collected. 
If kernel space is disabled, the kernel samples are still collected and attributed to --no-vmlinux in the report.

Message:
The next release of OProfile will include the "operf" program which uses
the Linux Kernel Performance Events Subsystem (aka "perf_events") for
controlling profiling instead of the oprofile kernel driver.  Since using
operf will be the recommended method of profiling (versus the
opcontrol-based method), and since no one in the oprofile community has
been concerned enough about this bug to submit a fix, I am closing this as
"Wont Fix".
