Yes, I only wanted to reuse fbt because the handbook says=20
SDT_PROBE_DEFINE doesn't work as a KLD.

Hmmm. I have tried that, but not joy :(
SDT_PROVIDER_DEFINE(gsio);
SDT_PROBE_DEFINE(gsio, main, gsio_intr, test);
SDT_PROBE_ARGTYPE(gsio, main, gsio_intr, test, 0, "int");
SDT_PROBE_ARGTYPE(gsio, main, gsio_intr, test, 1, "int");
=2E..
SDT_PROBE(gsio, main, gsio_intr, test, istat, 0, 0, 0, 0);
I built my module with WITH_CTF=3D1 and I see that ctfconvert is run,=20
however when I load it the Dtrace providers/providers aren't there.
Building it into the kernel works but isn't ideal.
Hmm, initially I was building my KLD outside of the tree, however when I=20
build it with buildkernel & load it dtrace -l crashes the system and I=20
can't get a crashdump at the moment.. I'll try again when I can get to=20
the console.
