This would finalize (fix?) this commit 8e9fa2f21151 (oprofiled version
output line removed from the list)

Maybe add some reasoning (To reduce it's OS jitter or because it's a leftover link)

And if it's the way to handle translations remove:
Documentation/translations/it_IT/process/changes.rst:- <https://oprofile.sf.net/download/>
Documentation/translations/pt_BR/process/changes.rst:- <https://oprofile.sf.net/download/>

I have no clue about the technical side, that's why I'm asking:
Can this be removed aswell?
arch/sparc/kernel/nmi.c:atomic_t nmi_active = ATOMIC_INIT(0);           /* oprofile uses this */

Thanks
