i assume this was because ipf was ported to solaris and solaris
provides a (generic?) "sdt" provider, not that it has been ported
to netbsd dtrace in any way.
If it's for Solaris compatibility, then maybe it is worthwhile to have
an `sdt' provider so that we might expect to get more useful D scripts
from the Solaris world. (But that's something Someone^TM needs to
actively work on, which evidently at least I haven't had the
activation energy for.)
