In fact, call graph support for PowerPC was added in the 2.6.17 kernel. 
  As for distros where it's included, SLES 10 is the only one I know of 
at this point.

The FAQ on the OProfile web site states that call graph is supported 
only on x86 and ARM.  The man page for opcontrol just says "x86".  I 
could submit a patch to add "PowerPC", but I'm wondering if there are 
other arch's out there where callgraph support has been added recently. 
  Might was well update the FAQ and man page to be as accurate and 
up-to-date as possible.
