Let me just add that it actually *is* traits of the file format
(really: the bfd_target) that cris_get_disassembler uses:
whether or not to add register-prefix to registers depending on
symbol_leading_char.

I was obviously wrong thinking that the function disassemble
declared in include/dis-asm.h was used also by gdb (so a bfd was
handy).  But somehow it just seemed natural, that for all common
cases there is a bfd somewhere close by, to use by gdb target
initialization functions.  (Or that there was something that
should be fixed to do that. ;-)
