And that is the attached patch. I got rid of USDT3 and just made
GNU/Linux with systemtap USTD1 like Solaris with macros instead of
functions for all DTRACE probes. All new tests PASS with this.

I think everything still left in systemtap.patch can be pushed into
hotspot directly since the diff is actually pretty small. After this
gets in icedtea7 HEAD I'll propose it there next.

Cheers,
