That stap script was really meant to be a stopgap measure.  As mentioned, you
can use the debugfs interface to turn tracepoints on and use them anyway you
wish.  Or, if you want to use the kfree_skb and napi_poll tracepoints in a more
formalized way, you can use the dropwatch user space utility:

https://fedorahosted.org/dropwatch/

Which includes a man page on usage :)

I also recently updated it so that this utility can query /proc/kallsyms to
translate program counter values into symbollic names and offsets for you. :)
