        <pre>Consider a test input with both .data and .text. Without any other switches,
both GNU objdump and llvm-objdump --disassemble disassemble the .text section
only. However, if --section=.data is also supplied, then the .data section is
disassembled by GNU objdump and not llvm-objdump. We should follow the GNU
behaviour here.
