Looks like that's quite practical using the existing .pushsection and
.popsection features used in the existing <sys/sdt.h>. If building without
__ASSEMBLER__ we would treat STAP_PROBEn_ARGINFO(...) the same as
STAP_PROBEn(...) i.e. not generate arg info. But we could still emit it for
probes defined via a probes.d .

Will try to find time to draft a patch. My first foray into asm and custom
ELF sections...
