I've just reread it (despite the fact that I already used it). Some
comments:

Last time I tried, I didn't see any problems by adding
  makeoptions     WITH_CTF=yes
to the kernel config instead of doing
  make WITH_CTF=1 kernel

Did I miss something, and if not, shouldn't we tell about the
makeoptions part instead (a kernel rebuild later will not cause
trouble when someone forgets to do the WITH_CTF part as it is already
in the kernel makefile)?

What is DDB_CTF doing? Some additional dtrace access in ddb? I
didn't had it before but the dtrace probes I had in KLDs worked without
problems when running dtrace probes from userland.

Bye,
Alexander.
