Returns a short string describing the low level probe handler
type for the current probe point. This is for informational purposes only.
Depending on the low level probe handler different context functions can
or cannot provide information about the current event (for example some
probe handlers only trigger in user space and have no associated kernel
context). High-level probes might map to the same or different low-level
probes (depending on systemtap version and/or kernel used).
