Fedora kernel RPMs put it in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/, which is where Module.symvers is installed. This lands it in the kernel-devel RPM, which is needed to build modules (and hence by Systemtap).
Since new uses of markers won't necessarily require building modules, your suggestion is probably better.
