Hi,

There are some writeups at http://people.redhat.com/wcohen include one 
analyzing 
kernel module profiles on FC3.

In general it is a good idea to use set up OProfile with "--separate=library" 
to 
associate library code with the executable using it. The will help to determine 
which executable is using a particular library.
