systemtap probe points for Xen hypervisor

How do we probe the Xen hypervisor, while running as the dom0 (which
is the GUI frontend for us, and  running as guest)?   Since the entry
to hypervisor is controlled, I supposed it will need a patch before
systemtap can be used to probe the Xen hypervisor, right?   Or is it
not a logical thing  to do?

My target of interest will be to trace/analyze  the behavior of the
Xen hypervisor, and the domX guest as well.

Thank you for your answer.
