Hmm. In preparation for oprofile, I currently have the below in my avr32
tree (i.e. -mm). What's the best way to deal with that?

I intend to push this early once the merge window opens. Could you just
remove the instrumentation menu from avr32 as well in your patch? It
should still apply nicely to -mm.
