Yeah, it looks the problem is the following check in
arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c:
if (cpu_model > 4)
return 0;
Intel processors 920 and 955 (perhaps others, you would have to ask Intel)
appear to return 6 as the cpu model. Making the obvious change to the above
gets oprofile out of timer only mode. An obvious patch is attached.
