CentOS - Apr 2010 - PAPI + perfctr on CentOS 5?

Has anyone succesfully compiled a PAPI+perfctr-enabled kernel? I've
been mixing and matching instructions from the PAPI distribution and
those from CentOS wiki to no avail.
TIA

From the perfctr-2.6.40 release notes:

 Version 2.6.40, 2010-01-30
 ...
 - Updated kernel support: 2.6.32, 2.6.31, 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 and
   2.6.18-164.el5 (RHEL5), 2.6.9-89.0.19.EL (RHEL4).

I've not tried this but ealier versions on CentOS was trivial to patch in 
using the provided documentation.
