Excellent!  Thanks to everybody who helped make this happen, starting
with the participants at dtrace.conf who gave us the requisite whacks
with the clue-by-four.

However, what is our policy for enabling features in -STABLE that are
known to be unstable?  If we MFC this I don't have the slightest worry
that somebody might see instability in their system just because the
hooks are all of a sudden there, but I would worry that somebody make
take DTrace hooks being enabled in GENERIC on -STABLE to imply that
DTrace is stable, start using it and being upset when they trip over a
DTrace bug.
