That's the use case I am talking about ... N-different kernel versions 
and the probe definitions would need to be generated at *build* time of 
the kernel that uses a cross-compile environment. ie., can't assume 
there is a development machine running the kernel from which you can 
generate the probe definitions. This gets messy quick for embedded 
deployments.
