In terms of kernel profiling, it's not nonsensical to say that since we
support ARM and x86 in tprof, we can cover 99% of the MI parts of
whatever architecture. From then on, being able to profile the kernel on
other architectures has very little interest.

Speaking realistically, probably all the recent software-based kernel
profiling was done with DTrace.

Yes. So I will proceed.

Note that the removal of the kernel gprof implies the removal of kgmon.
