The patches look fine to me.

I don't like adding the --profile= to the default yum cli the newest 
yum-utils inherit the yum cli command line switches and the --profile, 
will not work there and it also is to not use to the normal yum user.

what about making a special yumprof.py there is importing the main from
yummain.py and run the selected profiler on the main imported from 
yummain.py.

Example:
sudo ./yumprof.py (main|main-hot|depsolve|depsolve-hot|...) install *.i386
