I think the following steps are complete.
1. Config the kernel  with the following options enabled.
    CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO,
    (and other options for supporting Kprobe)
2. make && make install modules_install
3. link the output stuffs embedded with debuginfo to suitable positions
    ln -s /PathToBuildDir/vmlinux  /boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`
    ln -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`  /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/`uname -r`

So, I think REAMDE of Sytemtap should be more clarifed.
