Actually, D isn't a great language for this type of thing because it
lacks the able to loop.  At dtrace.conf in April they discussed adding
restricted iteration of some kind, but it sounds like it's a long way
out right now.

It is possible to attach kgdb to /dev/mem to do live analysis of a
running kernel.  Of course with callouts this may not work out so well
because the callout wheel will be constantly changing out from under
kgdb.
