I looked into this at some point and if my memory serves me correctly using MCInstrInfo in the printer would create a cyclic dependency between the libXXXAsmPrinter and libXXXDesc for the target. I guess libXXXDesc could be refactored not to depend on libXXXAsmPrinter but I haven't checked what exactly uses it.
