[Bug translator/6855] New: need an option to ignore blacklist

[mhiramat at redhat dot com]

Some blacklisted functions will be safe on newer kernel, in that case, we might
better test that without modifying stap.

Maybe, guru mode can ignore the blacklist, because we don't need to ensure
safety in that mode.

Ignoring the blacklist in guru mode is possible, but
bug #6711 seems to be a better approach for making the
blacklist sensitive to kernel versions.

Hmm, bug #6711 seems useful for expanding blacklist, but not for shrinking.
Or, can I override the definition of existing blacklist with it?

The idea is that once we have a script-managed blacklist, the translator's
internal list could be removed and instead placed into the tapset.
