[llvm] r198441 - For disassembly when adding a symbolic operand that is a C++

OTOH a disassembler is not a compiler.  It's just a debugging aid.  While
it's conceptually nice that llvm-c-test --disassemble produces the same
outputs on all platforms, it's not as important as being able to do perfect
cross compilation.

Is there a way to structure this so that the symbolization is delegated to
the user of the C API, or is that too disruptive?
