PATCH 1/1 Fix oprofile configuration breakage

The cleanup 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9 broke the oprofile configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work.

Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be broken in most cases. So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE.

---

Since we're already in -rc4 I try to keep things minimally intrusive and use ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE only for MIPS for now instead of touching a dozen architectures.
