The '**' will end up giving you 'netdev.receive.**' too, which is why you're
seeing all these .call/.return/.callee suffixes.

I agree it's not a great way they're listed though.  On F22 I see:

$ stap -l 'netdev.receive**'
kernel.function("netif_receive_skb@net/core/dev.c:3834").call
kernel.function("netif_receive_skb@net/core/dev.c:3834").exported
kernel.function("netif_receive_skb@net/core/dev.c:3834").return
netdev.receive

Ideally those should look like 'netdev.receive.call' etc.  It's tricky to
reconcile though.  If someone wrote 'netdev.receive.callee("skb*")' then only
the lower-level dwarf processing knows how to expand that wildcard, but that
part only deals with "kernel.function.callee" and doesn't know how to leave the
alias intact.
