Would it be possible to look at prepackaged Dtrace "scripts"
and generate something comparable for systemtap?

I know the kernels are very different but the underlying functionality
(manage resources: CPU, memory, disk, network, etc) is basically
the same. In x86-64 case, it's the same HW doing essentially
the same things.
