configured/built kernel tree and -a its architecture (kbuild ARCH=...).
Systemtap will infer -p4.
+- The systemtap notion of "architecture" now matches the kernel's, rather
+ than that of "uname -m". This means that 32-bit i386 family are all
+ known as "i386" rather than "i386" or "i686"; "ppc64" as "powerpc";
+ "s390x" as "s390", and so on. This is consistent between the new
+ "-a ARCH" flag and the script-level %( arch ... %) conditional.

- It is now possible to define multiple probe aliases with the same name.
A probe will expand to all matching aliases.
