[PATCH] qemu-trace-stap: changing SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET considered harmful.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Setting SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET to some value other than
/usr/share/systemtap/tapsets results in systemtap not finding the
standard tapset library any more, which in turn breaks tracing because
pid() and other standard systemtap functions are not available any more.

So using SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET to point systemtap to the qemu probes will
only work for the prefix=/usr installs because both qemu and system
tapsets in the same directory then.  All other prefixes are broken.

Fix that by using the "-I $tapsetdir" command line switch instead.
