You might look into using my user-mode kernel. Since it's a set of processes,
you can compile it -pg like any other process. I'm not sure how its
multi-threadedness would affect its profilability.

I'm currently updating it to 2.3.8, and I'll bring it current with the latest
development kernel when I get it working with 2.3.8.

In the meantime, you can look at what's available now at
