Maynard informed me that neither the oprofile kernel module nor oprofile
userspace has been updated to support that "legacy" oprofile module
interface for power8, which is indicated by "ppc64/power8." This results
in no samples. The solution is to default to the "timer" type, instead.
The raw entry also should be updated, as "ppc64/ibm-compat-v1" indicates
to oprofile userspace to use "compatibility events" which are obsolete
in ISA 2.07.
