We actually don't support module("NAME") for markers (which I realize
was in error in the text before too).  We also support a format string,
so it can be either of these:

  kernel.mark("MARK")
  kernel.mark("MARK").format("FORMAT")

The current manpage is correct about these, if you want to look at
stapprobes.3stap.in.

Thanks,
