RFC: Annotate immediates in x86 disassembly

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

   Attached is a v2 of the proposed patch.  It adds:

   * The annotation is displayed as a comment at the end of the line.
   * The symbol name is displayed in dis_style_symbol rather than dis_style_address.
   * Shared object files (type ET_DYN) can also benefit from the new feature.

   There are a couple of potential issues with the patch:

   * It adds a new buffer to the instr_info structure, making it even bigger.
   * There are opportunities for sharing code with the oappend_*() functions
     which I did not take.  (Mainly to keep the code in the patch simple).
   * There are opportunities for other places in the dissaembler to add comments
     of their own, but I figured that these could be added later, if they
     were actually deemed worthwhile.

   Thoughts, comments ?

Cheers
   Nick
