So, to answer my own confusion a bit. Frank pointed out the obvious on
irc. That the uprobes-in-kernel doesn't have uretprobe support yet. So
whichever way we test, for uretprobe support we currently need the
systemtap uprobes variant, which requires utrace support.

Frank pushed Tony's commit.

Cheers,

Mark
