so this one started conflicting non-trivially with tip:perf/x86 
- the pending memory profiling kernel-side bits.

Can we merge the memory profiling tooling side bits together 
with the kernel side bits - or does it need more work?

For now I've excluded perf/x86 from tip:master until this is 
resolved.

Thanks,
