I just removed it :)

In retrospect, having #uses come out of the asmprinter by default was a "bad thing", because it is just clutter and doesn't add much useful value.  It is better to have people interested in this opt into it.

Instead of being on by default, I reimplemented it as part of the llvm-dis tool.  To get #uses info (including for functions) you can now run a .bc file through "llvm-dis -show-annotations".
