[Bug translator/6509] New: syscall.get*id probes broken

[jkenisto at us dot ibm dot com]

kernel/timer.c was added to the blacklist to fix PR 6487.  Unfortunately, this
breaks a bunch of syscall probes, at least on my system with a kernel.org kernel
(2.6.24, but 2.6.25* look to be the same).

For example, in testsuite/systemtap.examples,
$ stap -vvv syscalls_by_pid.stp > tossme2 2>&1
fails.
$ grep blacklisted tossme2
probe sys_alarm@kernel/timer.c:943 kernel section=.text pc=0xc0117bc1 skipping -
blacklisted
probe sys_getegid@kernel/timer.c:1006 kernel section=.text pc=0xc0117d55

resolved by reverting e0d0dcf9.  bug #6487 will need a different fix, probably
more along the lines of bug #6504.
