The best is to get the latest marker post I made on LKML, posted back Fri, 28 Sep 2007 10:28:45. However, since you don't have the full patchset to be merged in the -mm tree, it is probably best for me to prepare a tarball. Here it is: http://ltt.polymtl.ca/markers/markers-patches-for-2.6.23-rc8-mm2-02-10-2007.tar.bz2
Please keep in mind that it will break the tools you have, which depends on the __markers_strings section to be a "real" section, not just a blob of data.
In order to get the markers from the kernel image, you should use the __start___markers and __stop___markers symbols. (since the __markers section is packed in the .data section in the linker scripts, I think __markers will just vanish) (see include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h for details).
To get the markers from the kernel modules, using the __markers sections seems like a good solution.
