On RHEL/Fedora, it is missing the kernel-debuginfo rpm.

For RHEL, you can find the rpm at: http://people.redhat.com/duffy/debuginfo.
For Fedora, you can run: yum --enablerepo=fedora-debuginfo install kernel-debuginfo

17) How can I find a list of blacklisted functions?

You can run:
stap -vvv -e 'probe kernel.function("*") {}' -p4 2>&1 | grep blacklisted
