I'm far from a hacker but regarding API, you should check that your
interface could support the PerfAPI effort. This API is aiming at
providing the same *programmer* interface on many OS.
PerfAPI - Performance Data Standard and API

Another question: does your patch support SMP systems ?
I'll try to put a link on my web page
(http://www.irisa.fr/prive/dmentre/linux-counters/).
Hope it helps,
david
