how about saying that in the symbol column,
instead of poluting report's output, like:

	$ perf report --stdio

	# Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol (disabled)
	# ........  .......  ................  ......................

also your change does not affect tui mode

annotation for some reason does not start at all.. could be
little more verbose ;-)
