I guess it depends on whether you folks are likely to have time to
improve the kernel side of the situation.

On the systemtap side, we only have a blacklist of some known-bad
areas (that the kernel is not known to put into its own kprobes
blacklist).  We add entries to that list periodically as testing
identifies specific vulnerable areas.  It is an available workaround,
but it is by definition incomplete, and can only protect systemtap
users.

(We track some known non-systemtap problems in that same database.)
