That should "just work", as of many months ago.

The marker interface code uses the Module.markers file generated by
modpost to get a list of available markers.  Perhaps this file is not
being found (in which case our code should emit a proper error
message).  Can you find the Module.markers file by hand?  Can you try
stracing stap to see if it found it?
