They are becoming fairly common, especially now that glibc has adopted
them. And they were designed to be source compatible with DTRACE markers
[*]. So any program that has probes for dtrace can just be recompiled on
with sys/sdt.h to get them.

My Fedora 19 box already has a couple of applications and libraries
installed that support them:
