Why is intr taking up so much cpu?

[Doug Barton]

I added options KDTRACE_HOOKS to my kernel config, built a new kernel, 
and rebooted. I decided to try your script before things went sideways 
so I'd have an idea of what to expect, and it didn't work:

dtrace: failed to initialize dtrace: DTrace device not available on 
system

Is there something else I need to do to enable it?
