The simplicity and straightforwardness of your patch is very seducing! :-)
I think that you missed sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/sdt.h, but that's a very
a minor issue that is trivial to fix.

I had something a little bit more elaborate on my mind.  Something that would
allow DTRACE_PROBE macros to work without providing any additional code per each
probe.  And also something that would make DTRACE_PROBE macros appealing to use
in the FreeBSD code proper.

So, I got some time to hack on this and here is a result:
http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/dtrace-probe-macros.diff
This change depends upon another change that I've just posted.

So, no surprise that I feel preference for my change, but I think that your
change has certain advantage as well (esp. brevity and clarity).

What do you think?
Thank you!
