I think this change would make it seem like these probe points are
somehow less generic than UST static markers from the gdb point of view
-- but they are not, in fact they are more generic because they aren't
restricted to just being used in tracepoints.
We did look at unifying the support between UST and sdt.h probes, but
this seemed not very doable.
