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.
