This is a major redesign a modernization of Sysprof. The core data
structures and design are largely the same, but it has been ported to
Gtk3 and has lots of additions that should make your profiling experience
smoother. Especially for those that are new to profiling.
There are some very simple help docs added, but we really need the
experts to come in and write some documentation here.
Debug link crc values is strored after null terminated string in 4
aligned offset. But sysprof was only taking into accoutn alignment
that made elf parser read wrong crc from the debug link string.
Fix is simple check for string length and adding the length to offset
before alignment.

Linux kernel version received bump to 3.0 that causes configure to
complain about older kernel. To avoid the warning configure needs to
check major and minor versions before micro.

__ppc__ isn't defined here on Debian powerpc. Grepping through the headers
installed in /usr/include, there are a few references to __ppc__ and
__ppc64__, but I suspect they're for other OSs.

A few commits ago, an attempt to speed the map look up was done.
Unfortunatly, it was missing the case where you actually hit the speed
up (once the map is the first element of the array, you never return
it).
So, make sure that if i is 0, you return the first element of array,
while still doing the array reordering is i > 0.
perf lets you decide to only get events that concerns a single process
and thus make sysprof profile this process instead of the whole system
(it can happen that you don't really care about other processes that are
just then noise).
As a side effect, this allows sysprof to not run as root if you have the
rights on the process you want to profile.
