My approach just works :)  Systemtap is an out of tree codebase that is
both a complete mess and poking into kernel internals so updating it
to new or heavily patched kernels is a nightmare.  I have no intentions
of supporting it.  Long term I'd prefer to get rid of sputrace.c and
replace it with something like lttng once that gets merged.
