Linux Kernel Markers
The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used
to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers
within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module
load time.
marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and
marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.
