I filed this in the "think about" box when you submitted it, but then
failed to think.  My concern was "oprofile is the profiling tool we support
with oprofileui on the host" but that point is fairly moot right now as
oprofileui doesn't work anymore... (#7054).

When that's fixed, we can re-add the tooling as appropriate.
